I walked in on R. Kelly feeling up Foxy Brown once. I saw her nasty little boob.

When we found the Levenshulme Snooker and Bowls club, we walked in the wrong entrance to find Mackaye and Amy Farina setting up and unloading from the van. I said "Ah, Ian Mackaye," in my best Dr Livingstone I presume voice and shook his hand.

After the show, we had a chat and then my Dad took over and had a big conversation about the Iraq war.

Shit, my Dad got on with one of my heroes better than I did.

To make matters worse, a few months later, my Dad was on his way to stay again and I had forgotten to say that I was going to see Joe Lally, in Manchester again, so I took him along again. We walked into the bar before the show, to meet Joe Lally sitting down alone with his bass. We had a chat and shook hands, etc.

After the show, my Dad went up to Joe Lally and told him to, "Keep up the good work."

Before this, my Dad had no idea about Fugazi. I have christened him the Fugazi Soloist Stalker. Two down, two to go.

Here's my Dad hanging out with Joe Lally. Aargh!

If you would have waited one more day, you would've gotten my vote for first best post of 2008.

Anyway, my brush involves Tina Weymouth and Chris Frantz. Tom-Tom Club was playing at the Black Swamp Arts Festival, which is a huge three day drunken debacle wherein half of Bowling Green, Ohio's streets are shut down so people can just get unbelievably hammered as they walk freely from one bar to the next between visits to the beer garden.
I was not exempt from this condition.
On the second night, I grabbed my Talking Heads 77 LP and went to the show in the giant parking lot behind the ice cream parlor and insurance offices. After the set (and nearly getting kicked out for trying to sneak backstage to get a jump-start on the autograph signings) I drunkenly made my way up to Ms. Weymouth and (oh, Lord, how I was a drunken asshole) kissed her hand after she signed my LP. I then proceeded to over to Mr. Frnatz and he signed it as well, but with this funny look on his face.
It wasn't until the following morning while nursing my hangover with a little hair of the dog that my friend Chris informed me: "You know they're married, right? You probably pissed the guy off."
Oh, the shame.

My wife played guitar hero on a bus with Debbie Harry not too long ago.
She said when she asked Debbie what song to play she replied 'Anything but Pat Benatar!'

Wait... you always dreamt of having a three-way with Pierce Bronson and his dog?

I kid.

Wouldn't you? WHAT A HUNK!

I....also kid.

What sort of douche?

Wikipedia wrote:On December 6, 2005, Mancow drew controversy when he vilified Howard Dean on Fox News Channel's Fox & Friends, antagonizing with such words as "vile", "bloodthirsty", "evil" and retaliated to Dean's opinions on the War in Iraq, calling Dean a traitor that "ought to be kicked out of America" and "tried for treason".

oh... THAT sort of douche.

self explanatory kind!

dude seriously tried to play that whole "It's just a character" while acting like a dick around people he had never met before.

I once went into a music venue and Slint were playing a bunch of songs on stage. I was within 10 feet of those fuckers.

I have also shouted "Don Caballero" at Ian Williams during a quiet bit of a Battles gig I was at.


Who wants to touch me?

I got kicked in the face by David Yow once while he was crowd surfing.
