My wife snubbed Jason Mraz for pushing in front of her at a gig.
He slid in before her and she just looked at him in disgust, thinking who was that guy, thinking he was so important. His baseball cap hid his face and it wasn't only until the gig started that she realised who he was. It was a Jason Mraz gig and she felt bad for accusing him of pushing in.
Women, you can't live with em, you can't shoot em.

My top most famous encounters are
a. The Smashing Pumpkins. They came for a gig in Athens right after they had released Adore, and since I had a friend working for their record company here, I got invited to be the interpreter at their press conference. I got to talk to all of them of course, and got them to sign my cds. James Iha was "the quiet one", D'Arch was the "bitch" to the journalists but she was extra nice to me for some reason (maybe because I told her that my favourite track was Rhinoceros???). Billy Corgan was a very sweet guy (although with that shaved head he looked a bit scary).
b. Ian Brown. I met him after a gig of his outside a club. I actually asked him are you going to be here for a while? He said "yes", I drove back home, got all my Stone Roses cds, drove back and got him to sign them. He also offered me a joint (which for the history I declined) and we had a chat for his music. Since he was rather high though, the chat wasn't an impressive one
I once met Chairlift which isn't that huge of a deal but I was so embarrasing! I couldn't stop talking and saying how AWESOME she was and for some reason I couldn't just walk away like a normal person would have. I kept looking around for somebody to save me but nope! I finally some how left and went to James Blake's table (he wasn't there). But it was the worst possible encounter with anybody slighly famous and I am so glad it wasn't somebody like Christopher Owens or Justin Vernon, I might have cried out of embarrassment.
1. Despite what GARY claimed earlier, James Cameron did not direct Alien. That was Ridley Scott. Jeez.
2. I've met the Tragically Hip, Lights (at a Protest the Hero show, no less), and at a party I once met "Down With Webster", who are essentially the Canadian equivalent of LMFAO. _________________ A dick that's bigger than the sun.
I met Jon Anderson from Yes a few years ago. He signed my concert ticket.
In the same year, I met Anoushka Shankar too. She gave a wonderful concert at the F. Liszt Academy of music and I stayed there for a while,then met her on the street after the concert. She is a very kind person.
Met Jeff Lynne and Richard Tandy outside, then after show at their CBS Television City Electric Light Orchestra Zoom Tour Live concerts on consecutive nights May 23-24, 2001!
