      In 1994 Neil was at a signing at my university campus. It was a big to-do. My friend, a big fan, came for a signing and whispered a few words.

      Suddenly Neil is vaulting the table trying to choke the living shit out of my friend. Friend’s backpedaling, eyes wide, Gaimancs face a rictus of rage and fury, and the many people jump in and slow it down

      Friendo booted, things fall down, minimal mention in the uni rag. Never learned what was said, but now I suspect it was a pretty badly-kept secret for a long time.
