Simply cause its a private contract kinda thing, and I DONT MEAN THAT TO SOUND LIKE BS... its just the way it factually is... Sorry... |
That sounded really arrogant, so when I awoke this morning, I re-read the contract, as as best I can tell, I cant discuss NAMES... However, as its unlikely that any of the people I mention read GFY... I'm gonna tell the story... Cause its kinda cool...
Except for one part (blush) I bought and resold a piece of pop memorabilia a few years from a very exclusive company. The 'blush' part is because it was to do with Cyndi Lauper... But I digress. Thats how I came to biz with the company, and sort of got on the mailing list...
Anyhoo, there was this guy who used to work with RB during the days that Virgin had signed the pistols... He was also a true punk fan, lived the lifestyle... But was also a bit of a thief...
Turns out that when there was any 'memorabilia' left hanging about, from the pistols or any other of the bands signed by Virgin at the time, that he would take it...
Anyway, he told the pistols that RB had asked them to sign it. They were not very happy about 'having' to do it, but they did, hence why they spelt their names wrongly!
So he stole it, along with many other thing from other bands etc, and eventually got found out. He got fired and went off to do something else...
He recently died (Poss drug related...) and all his possessions went to his Son. However, with the sons dad being a punk, the son rebelled in his own way, by becoming a big name in the London Stock market. Suit Tie and all that stuff.
The son was going to burn / dispose of / throw away all the memorabilia, cause he didn't want HIS name associated with it, and TBH, he didn't need the money either...
Somehow or other (Don't ask me) he got connected with a 'Charity' organisation, that in turn were connected to the people I bought the glove from originally... They contacted me via email, and thats how I got it...
The *charity* angle is somewhat questionable, hence why I had to sign a legal agreement not to mention any actual names of the Guy, the Stockbroker, the *charity?* or the brokerage firm
Kinda still a bit punk rock though
