Early one evening I approached a new two-top and noticed that one of the guys looked familiar...he had chin-length dirty blonde hair that was somewhat greasy and chiseled features, but looked like he'd been on the business end of some hard living for quite some time. I said to the bartender, "The guy at table five looks familiar...he kind of looks like David Beckham's older, drug-addicted brother." It was only when I took his order and noticed his Irish brogue AND remembered that U2 was playing that night that I realized I was waiting on their drummer. I have to admit I was a little flustered but not as flustered as I'd be if I met Tom Waits or Bob Dylan. Anyway, he was very lovely, very quiet and polite and a decent tipper. People sitting at the tables right near him didn't even realize who he was. The manager went over to him with a copy of the restaurant's menu and very quietly said she'd comp his meal if he signed the menu. He smiled and said "That's a tough deal to beat." He left me $20, pretty generous considering if he'd been charged his bill would've been only about $25. He definitely looks older but you can still tell how H-O-T he was fifteen years ago. Oh, hilarious sidebar to the story: he came back in the very next day and had lunch and the bartender waited on him...she just happened to be wearing her brand new U2 t-shirt that she'd bought at their concert the night before. She felt like a dumbass but he smiled and said "Nice shirt."
