Like Father, Like Son
Trevor Horn has been telling a story at gigs recently about one of his daughter’s old classmates. She attended the same private school as one of Boris Johnson’s sons.
The two kids were friendly, but it was still a bit of a surprise for Trevor when he came home one day to find Boris’s son not just in his house, but in Trevor’s bedroom. Lying on his bed.
Mercifully, he was clothed and Trevor’s daughter was nowhere to be seen – but Trevor still turfed him out.
The following week at the school gates, Trevor went over to Boris to mention this bizarre little intrusion. He said, “Your son was in my house last week.”
To which Boris simply replied, “You didn’t give him any drugs, did you?”
I did not know there was a video for this. Drama is a fantastic Yes album – one of my favourites in a very strong field – and I used to think it was so weird that Trevor Horn and Geoff Downes came in to replace Jon Anderson and Rick Wakeman, mainly because at that time I just thought they were bubblegum pop artists.
