[OT-Humour] I don't think I've laughed this hard in years - NON-political

I know I post my share of political things but this time I just want to tell you about the funniest NON-POLITICAL thing I've read in many years. I am not talking about mildly amusing either: I'm talking about gut-busting laugh-out-loud hilarious.
I was watching an interview with Rick Wakeman on Rick Beato's YouTube channel yesterday and it was REALLY good. It went an hour and a half and I would have happily watched hours more of it because Wakeman is a true story-teller. When I read the comments under the video, I discovered that he'd written a book and knew I had to look for it. A quick search revealed he'd written TWO books: Grumpy Old Rock Star and other Wondrous Stories and it's sequel, Further Adventures of a Grumpy Old Rock Star. I found both on the gray and am already well into the first of the two.
This is a guy who can really tell a story!
For those who don't recognize the name, Wakeman has played keyboards on all kinds of songs as a session musician working with the likes of David Bowie, Elton John and Cat Stevens - that's him playing the piano on Cat Steven's Morning Has Broken - and has also been an important element of bands like The Strawbs, Yes (think Roundabout), and as a solo artist composing his own music. He's been playing music since about the time the Beatles and is still active today at age 75.
Here's the Beato interview:

For a shorter sample, here's his speech when Yes was inducted into the Rock'n'Roll Hall of Fame:

(He has apparently written three books, the first being an autobiography of Yes. Now I have to look for that and see if it's as good as the Grumpy Old Rock Star book....)
