Never Met Experience

THE place for your Sisters-related comments, questions and snippets of Sisters information. For those who do not know, The Sisters of Mercy are a rock'n'roll band. And a pop band. And an industrial groove machine. Or so they say. They make records. Lots of records, apparently. But not in your galaxy. They play concerts. Lots of concerts, actually. But you still cannot see them. So what's it all about, Alfie? This is one of the few tightly-moderated forums on Heartland, so please keep on-topic. All off-topic posts will either be moved or deleted. Chairman Bux is the editor and the editor's decision is final. Danke.

Twenty-five whores will say they did, and probably more than just meeting.

Some girls wander by mistake and say they're on the photo with him.

Some kind of stranger will shout that he or she banged the drums with his band.

Someone will say: ok, i'll throw off my mask, i AM Andrew.

to be honest, i think it's better if you do not meet your heroes. Personal.

(Meanwhile on this very moment i realise i'm closer than just one handshake, Pearson is playing with MC5 a few blocks away)

Never met him but did see him wandering around at the bar before Josephs Well gig, way too shy to approach him.

Some HLers did meet and talk to him, but they won't tell... simply because they don't show up very often. :von:

I met him once, back when we were in the 'Stan together--that's Afghanistan. We weren't serving together, we were just there at the same time. I was leading a recon patrol team against Taliban hold-outs in a poppy field--we were preparing to burn the field--when out of nowhere Von appeared on a combine harvester complete with a boombox blaring Russian work-songs of some sort. You know the kind, both sad and uplifting at the same time. The Taliban didn't know what to make of him, as he was wearing the bright yellow sort of clothing he's taken to, and while they were distracted by his sudden appearance we lobbed a few grenades at them and fired off a few rounds. The gunfire seemed to make Von hint at a smile, which became a full-blown grin when he got a whiff of the cordite from the expended cartridges. "Thanks for the timely distraction!" I shouted, to which he looked down his nose at me, paused for a second, and said "What what! Pip pip dear lad, I'm here for the poppies! And the ladies, of course. The burqa is an erotic mystery, and I shall solve it. Tally-ho!"

It was the best day of my life, ever!

Von positions himself absolutely distant from fans
as Ben said "he never meets anyone"
there was only about 10 people waiting for the band to come out of the backstage and drive away
so Von passed rapidly, didn't stop at all, someone said "Great concert!" (or kinda), he answered "Thank you"
that's all
i offer to involve the new verb: to von - to p*ss someone off ingoring him
