some cool names & great stories here peeps!

:aplaud:
Roger Daltrey {

??1976?? a few months before he cut off his "Tommy" curls}
He was giving a interview at the ole WNEW w Scott Muni. Iwas picking up a trlial run printed sample of my design/illustrator's freelance card i was designing, listening to the interview as I was heading to printers and after , and then walked over to wait outside the radio studio.
It was only a few of us. He was nice. I don't remember much because i was so nervous. He looked great , tho!
----------------------------------------------------------
1975? or 76?
I exchanged Q & A at a R&R class I was at with Patti SMith.

---------------------------------------------------------------
Outsdie the Paladium 76? or 78? Bruce walked right by me but he wasn't stopping , so i didn't meet him. His gravely voice went right past my ear!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I got into a cab for an errand for my then current temp job & AS I JUSTstarted to slide in i got this mental "tingle" but had NO idea why. I sat down. and almost forgot TILL__ I looked at the driver's ID page.
It said William Ficca. I saw the pic and was ?!?!
It was
BILLY Ficca - the drummer of Television. So i got to chat for a bit. THAT was cool!
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Edge ~ 1x 2001 {he was the first U2 guy i met}Outside MSG
2x's ~ 2005 MSG {

} I made him REALLY smile, when i gave him a particular compliment on his gutair playing. He was very nice to everyone there.
Larry - QUik Handshake & thank you! outsdie MSG. LArry is shy that way,and he was a real trooper staying out and giving autographs & having pics taken.
Adam - after ???? SNL 2005
Because almost everyone else had run down to Bono's car, so I KNEW i wasn't going to get near him. I watched Adam wlak right to "his" car.
...but Adam was also really getting ready to get in his car, I'd heard he'd been semi-freaked out by an over-zealous fan at HQ the previous yr or earlier that yr so I wanted to be VERY low key!
the reason I actually started to go to meet U2 was I'd never gotten GREAT seats for 23 yr of show-going. So I thot the only was I'd get some good photos was IF I stood outside the area!
I've taken some great photos of Bruce/E ST, Patti smith & bnad/ The WHo [ and others} so this was an exercise in FRUSTRATION w U2!
-------------------------------------------------------------
Lenny Kaye from Patti SMith Band--
really nice. met him at a R&R convention. I was able to carry a bit of convo, but i was still like awestruck so it wasn't easy.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I passed by David JohHansen on Broadway in Soho (NYC) but let him just be.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

wish The OIls! were still together Some great Material and a great !LIVE! band!
