I'm on a forum with a well-known recording engineer.

Also, Richard Simmons did an assembly at my high school.

I know this might be a faux pas in the thread but I actually thought the OP was fairly interesting.

God knows if I'd lived with Leee Childers I'd want to boast a bit.

I'm on a first-name basis with Phil Spector's hairdresser.

Oh, the stories I could regale you with!

once i touched said recording engineer. and a different one who plays bass.

seriously though, once a few years ago i met mike watt and j. mascis. then two years later i met mike watt again. he let me play his bass. that little eb-0. i played "down on the street." he's in the stooges now and that's totally my fault since i jinxed his bass.

I held the door open at a photocopy place for ... Micheal Stipe. He said 'thanks' and looked terribly depressed. He's about 6'4. Also met Watt. Talked for about an hour. I was going to ask him to sign my bass but I thought that would be too geeky. In retrospect, I would have rather he signed it. :cry:
Almost hit Sting on my bike when he was getting out of a taxi cab. Sorry I didn't finish the job.

Did I tell you guys about the time I was on Pitchforkmedia.com?

YES ITS TRUE!

Every time you see my beautiful head now, you're looking directly at FAME 101.

But don't take MY word for it, have a look yourself -
