Heartland

a question to everyone: have you ever met ?
tell, please

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)

I still owe him a drink from August last year.

He'll be bloody lucky.

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.

I got a kiss off him after the Joseph's Well gig.

Saw fall flat on his arse right in front of me when coming back on stage at speed kings 20/10/90 might have been the medication

thats a lie sir! no-one ever see's ANYTHING on a TSOM stage, what with all the dry ice etc!

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!

Am not a liar, well not this time anyway , there wasnt much if any smoke that night and it was a very very small venue. In fact the roof was so low by the stage that TJ didnt wear his hat

I met That Guitarist once.









Come on admit it,you're impressed really arn't you?

please seek psychiatric assistance pronto and cut back on the acid, Pete

It's absolutely true, I swear! Why would I make something like that up?

Because you are a heedbanger!!!

No I'm not! I'm a scientist!

Stumpy Pete wrote:No I'm not! I'm a scientist!

Should that be scientologist?

What Pete says is true, I can attest, I was the one wearing the burqa.

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
