[GREG SLAWSON]

I met Mick Jones (Clash) once--he was a passenger in the cab I was driving and I didn't recognize him till he got out (w/BAD members) to pay me--and he was very nice, a bit shy, and even gave me a good tip. Also got Joe Strmmer's autograph and he was very gracious.> Date: Sat, 11 Aug 2007 13:12:59 -0500> From: bigblackhair at sbcglobal.net> To: gathering at misera.net> Subject: Re: [kj] oliver u sound pissed ;-/> > Actually, I'm not mad; I just think I was mis-read.> > Believe it or not, I can claim to have met John Lydon personally.
