[kj] Its not important for you to knowmyname...............................

[Mike Cooper]

I was once in a record store in Birmingham called Plastic Factory talking to Derek Pringle the crap England all round cricketer in the late 80's and early 1990's.  Nice bloke a bit posh but good taste in music.

I also bumped into Robert Plant in Dudley!!!! (JB's that is) full on, arms and hair everywhere - very friendly and chatty and bought me a pint.  He would talk for ages with people.

Rankin Roger from the Beat is a friend of mine - he is lovely and gave me a rude boy wallet which is wicked.  He has got some great stories and is an old friend of Jaz.

My best claim to fame is stopping a fight involving a member of Nalpalm Death and a drunken lout.

    When I was about 16, i was shopping w/my Mom in Boston. We ended up in a well-known indie record store, and my mom waited by the door for me. She notied a wierd-looking tall guy at the checkout and whispered to me that there were some strange looking people in the store. It was Rick Ocasic (singer of crappy new-wave band the Cars).

    When I was 11, and I was visiting my relatives in Spring of 1979. My father and I were walking on E. 79th street.

    As I lagged behind I noticed this couple come out of this apartment building arm and arm. I stopped dead in my tracks and said out loud towards my Dad who was ahead..

    "Hey Dad! That was Paul & Linda McCartney!!"

    They both turned around, smiled & laughed at me still not missing a beat arm and arm. I was in awe!

    That was the most star struck moment I think I will ever have. And I remind you, that is someone who grew up in L.A. and went to school with actors daugther's  & sons. ;)


    Cheers,

      Another one: Two years ago, I'm in the Apple Store in Soho, looking at digital cameras. There's another guy there doing the same thing who looks remarkably familiar. We start comparing notes, talking about megapixels and such, and then it dawns on me, and I ask: "Waitaminute, are you the guitar player from Tommy Tutone?" For you UK'rs who may not be as familiar, Tommy Tutone was a one-hit-wonder band from the early 80's who are responsible for the single, "867-5309 Jenny". The guy looked alarmed and surprised. I was right (having recognized him --- though now much older -- from the single's video)  I made his day.
