rock stars you have met! i've met the following people.....
Billy Corgan (was very cool and easy to talk to) Lenny Kravitz (he was just ok) Eddie Vedder (cool guy and nice) Bret Michaels (extremely nice and let me and my friends into one of his gigs) Courtney love (this was quite brief and it was shortly after kurt's death) Sebastian Bach (friendly and funny) Mike Patton (not very friendly) There are more but i can't remember. I used to be a bit of a groupie back in the day. I used to go see shoes and hang out to meet the bands. | |

Bruce Springsteen; amazing
Kylie Minogue; nice toosh Michael Jackson; ET crazy 3T; too sticky Mariah Carey; too much limo's Tal Bachman; Okay, not a real list of ROCK stars, besides Bruce and maybe Tal. But Kylie sat on my lap and I am a fan forever. Michael shopped in our store, just caring for video's of ET. 3T did an signing at our store. They too cute. Mariah Carey, like Michael, came shopping with an antire entourage. I had to direct her to the dance department. She's full of (sh)it. Her personality is as wax as her looks. Now Bruce, Bruce played a demo to me over the telephone. He's a kewl dude and has humour. He respects Prince too! Now that is a kewl guy! PS And I forgot to say that if you really want to get in a star's eye, you just tell 'm you haven't listened to their album yet and then ask; "Is it any good?" Good peeps fall in love with you.....

I've met precious few famous folk, but someone I did meet is Mani of Stone Roses/Primal Scream fame. I was piss drunk when I met him, as was he. He bought me a beer and we chatted for ten minutes about music and stuff. Asked him if he liked Prince and he said he likes anyone who does not conform.
absolute legend Mani, I salute you “If I can shoot rabbits/then I can shoot fascists” | |

Avril Lavigne Mick Jagger i wanna meet cher. she seems like she would be fun to have cocktails with! I've always wanted to meet Cher too. I've been a fan since I was 6 years old. I don't particularly like her music or her voice, but she's Cher and I would love to meet her. I bet she has a few juicy stories to tell to. | |

Got drunk with Paul Weller one night after a concert.
Had some drinks with Stephen Malkmus (from Pavement) in Amsterdam, who is a very cool guy! Shared a joint with George Clinton just before a concert in Munich, he walked by and saw us smoking and decided to join! Talked to Lou Reed on the plane from Amsterdam to NYC Sat in a ski-lift with Rob Schneider (rockstar?) at a Lake Tahoe ski-resort. Ran into Pat Benatar at the same ski-resort....what a bitch! | |

Most of those I've met have been at meetNgreets, so I won't count those...
I had a BRIEF moment with Prince one night at Paisley. I had a brief moment with Damon Albarn at 1st Ave. I've had conversations with the boys from Travis. But, by far my favorite moments were with The Charlatans. I've had numerous conversations with those boys before and after shows. The best of which was after their Wonderland show in MPLS when we stood outside the venue and chetted for near an hour...'twas one of my favorite nights in my life | |

for the dutchies:
I ran into Xander de Buisonje at a bar in Curacao. I was very drunk coming from a wedding, together with a buddy. We walked up to him and started a smart conversation with him, making a fool of him. I must say that he was a pretty good sport and played along well. Turned out he was staying at our hotel, next day we were drinking beers at the bar, he was paying! | |
