I was in a band that opened up for Bad Brains and Yellowman on separate dates in Philly. I drive for a limo service so we get to see alot of celebs and musicians. I picked up CC DeVille at his house and drove him to the airport. He was cool. We picked up Melissa Etheridge at her hotel and took her to the venue and back. Nice lady but she's got butt-ugly fans. Jeeesh!!

First band I ever did on the limo gig was Pearl Jam. Had to pick up Eddie Vedder and the tour manager and take them to the venue in Camden, NJ. Some prick cop wouldn't let us drive to the rear entrance though the T.M. had a venue and all-access pass. He made us drive through the general parking area and go in the front and I didn't have tinted windows. Poor Eddie had to put his jacket over his head so he wouldn't get recognized and start a riot with the thousands of fans milling around the outside of the arena. The T.M. was pissed big time.

Actually managed to get back stage and go drinking with The Fun Lovin' Criminals in Cambridge once, and another time I met Longview after they played KoKo, even got to meet Zane Lowe at their after show party! CrAzy Days ;-)

I met/talked to Michael Bolton when I was 7 or 8 but at the time didn't know he was famous. I hate his music though.
