I met Todd Youth when he was playing lead guitar for Danzig, don't know if he still is or not. Seemed like a really nice guy, now that I think of it he should be the guy filling in for Johnny Thunders in this New York Dolls reunion.

I've never really met any famous people.
I met some girl that was in that Sclub7 crap group in the bathroom of a Barbados club...I needed lip gloss, and I got what I needed.

Tre - I worked at the Turf in '72, probably before your time. Also the bass player for the Blues McGoos picked me up while hitchiking.( bass line in "we ain't got nuthin' yet" same as Modern Lovers "astral plain") Great guy, whatever his name is.And I say "hi" to Jonathan Richman every time I see him. He always says "hi" back. |

Indeed, floopie. I seem to remember thinking something similar at the time. If I had been taller, I would have said it out loud.

Yup moved there when I was 19 for a year or so before I went off to uni. It was great. Once you get past the pretention.
I did know a girl who was a total groupie, One new years eve she ran topless down Thom Yorkes road wailing like a banshee. Slightly disturbing you might say

Well, I think I said "hi". I hadn't expected to meet her -the friend I was with said -"hey, I wonder where all those people are going?" So we went to where about a dozen people were gathered and a security guard was letting them in one at a time. The one right before me was supposed to be last, but he said "hey, you can come on in". I wasn't even wanting to. It was a weird accident, and then I walked up the trailer steps and she came over and opened the door, smiled and said hi, and hugged me. Funny lady! She used to be cool.
I don't know why she started doing that, but it became a tradition after her first tour. I doubt I was the inspiration though! hahahah

I was hugged by Tori Amos after a show at Phoenix Hill Tavern in Louisville in 1991. It was unnexpected, and I forgot what I was going to say.
I think there are others, but that's all I remember right now.
Oh, not "famous", but I was friends with people from Rodan/June of 44/Rachel's/etc. in high school.

And floop has just provided us with the current runner-up.
Rather uninterestingly, they both have the same initials, just the other way around.

Bob Dylan (is probably the most famous person i've met)
i've met quite a few film industry big wigs, but i don't think any of them top Bob Dylan. |

i ran into peter gabriel at filene's basement (a discount "high end" clothing store) in boston the afternoon of the day my wife and i flew to ireland for our honeymoon. he was buying shorts and socks - and politely ducked out of an extended conversation with me by saying that his voice was strained from a performance the night before.
let's see... who else? frank black and the whole band, of course. j mascis. mike watt and a couple of his different bands, including ed crawford. richard buckner (an uber-earnest folkie with the greatest album of 1998 to his credit - "since"). john denver (didn't meet him, but was in close proximity to him at the johnson space center in houston, tx - where he was being fitted for a space suit, which was apparently all that nasa would allow him to do after declining his request to go into space). two members of the doors (manzarek and densmore). can't think of anyone else right at the moment...
oh, and i met bazza once in dublin!

Gave Darby Crash(w/ an old friend) a ride after an X show. Met the Ramones at a video shoot. My experience is that the ones you respect the most walk away without warning in the middle of what you're trying to say and the ones you wish weren't on the radio will talk your ear off at craft service while you've got more important things to do. There are exceptions. Frank's probably not too rude. Could have met him at a poorly attended show in Danbury Conn. but didn't. Drat. |

This one doesn't really count because it's not me but my grandmother went to high school with John Updike or however you spell the authors name. He had a crush on her or something.

I'm bad with "famous" people...
I accidently told Thom Yorke that he was too short to be in a band (I wasn't convinced it was him)
I laughed at Gaz Coombes for buying strongbow in my local offie
I told all of Gay dad that they were excellent support band material
I told Muse that once they got over the sounding like radiohead thing they'd be really brilliant
I bullied Reef into giving me free beer at a festival
I groped Steve Lamacq in a nightclub and got free tickets for afore mentioned festival
Paul Draper from Mansun, told him he'd be really fit if he got over being such a moody bastard
One of the guys from the unbelievable truth, tried my damndest to convince him to take me to paris.. was almost there
Called the bloke from green day a twat (or similar words) for puking on my foot
oh yeah walked straight into colin greenwood in a cheese shop and almost knocked him over
hmmmm there's more but I'm tired... I'll get back to you
