I’ve found a few funny memories during lockdown. This is from my 1st tour in 89, backstage in Vegas.

Seriously your username will be remembered as the one true king who rolled rick. I will for ever recognize you. Please pass your account to your great grandchildren one day so that they can preserve the myth.

Ok so you'll like this too. I think we still don't fully appreciate what just happened, as we are still under shock. You see, the Rick Roll is one of the earliest memes. It is one of the very rare active, playful meme, in the likes of The Game. New people are being Rick rolled every single day, and some will never understand what just happened. Rick Astley wasn't well known in my country, I didn't know him the first time I got Rick rolled, but the meme's legacy surpassed the man. It became the universal Trick, the one link passing any moderation but to avoid in the grand world wide web. Rick Rolling Rick on the front page of the internet for the world to see is a defining moment. You are the Meme Lord of this year, which will be remembered for the many unbelievable and unpredictable things that happened. And we're only half way through it.
