Thanks JK. It was a dream. He was too, I spoke to him a couple of times over the years. He loved what he did so much.

FYI the glorious scene from My Own Private Idaho, in which Udo puts on a show for River Phoenix and Keanu Reeves, has him singing along to his own song, 1985's Der Adler. Quite clearly Keanu was enjoying the hell out of it.
