I haven't stood in line for an autograph in a long time but did back in the day:

Ramones (cool and non-talkative)
Mickey Hart (not so nice)
Mickey Dolenz (a little too nice)

Allen Ginsburg, Beat Poet (very nice)
Lawrence Furlingetti, Beat Poet (annoyed)

Scott Baio (very sweet at 16)
Larry Wilcox from CHiPs (short wait in line)

Just met photographer Phillip Townsend at the Stones convention in London in August. He wins hands down.

i can imagine some Cardinal signing for God.

cirrohsis - when someone asks you for 7 autographs all on the same piece of paper, will you be flattered? that's what pissed lawrence off.

Didn't think Queenie was asking about signings for books you had written yerself, R'man!

Well what can a poor boy do with 7
days on an ark and all those bleedin' animals......

Well, the poor boy could edit! Don't think the Bible used to weigh so much - where did all these pictures come from?!?!?!

(You didn't really think I'd bite and descend to sheep jokes, did you? Ooooh, you really did. Baaaaa'd R'man!)

DENNIS HOPPER, right after Blue Velvet. Man was he a riot. The Girl with me keep saying,"Hey Dennis, what were you breathing in that mask?" and he would just bust up so 1 minute later she would ask him again and he was LHAO... a VERY loose guy.. Dean Stockwell, Stockdale ? - Candy Colored Clown guy was there too, he wasn't as fun as Hopper, what a character......My friend goes ,"Hey, you're the Candy Colored Clown they call the Sandman" and he just looked at her like F*K you little Girl.... Still funny though - a very serious actor dude....

Here's some signed books from my collection. At least you can see what authentic signatures look like.

Springsteen

Aerosmith


Buddy Guy


David Crosby

Mick Fleetwood

Mel Brooks & Carl Reiner

Billy Gibbons

Never went to a book signing, but I got Dave Mason's autograph (wow) backstage when he showed up at a Traffic concert a few years after he left the band. Also I have a Pete Best signed DVD of Best of the Beatles (big wup).

One of my son's best friends father is Denny Dias the original guitarist of Steely Dan. I guess I could walk over to his home 3 blocks away and ask him to sign a computer program he wrote.

I once mistook Dave Mason for Mick Fleetwood and got my Rumors signed by Dave. I had not seen Mick in several years and when I saw Dave, it looked as if Mick gained some weight and let himself go. 30 seconds later I see a healthy Mick in a suit and tie...looking like a million bucks. This was in 1994 when Fleetwood Mac went out with Just Mick, John McVie and Dave Mason + a couple other people...

Billy Gibbons was at the hotel bar after the 2nd Beacon show.

I've never been much of an autograph seeker, but in 1980 I waited in line
at a record store with my friends to get the autographs of the LA punk band X.
They were playing in town that weekend, and it was all quite exciting.
I still have their 1st and 2nd vinyl albums in pristine conditon with autographs by all bandmembers.
Every once in a while I break out the sacred vinyl, and relive all the memories.

bill Wyman

Bill Wyman in Edinburgh. Wouldn't sign anything from his Stones era. Was signing "Rolling with the Stones". Asked me my name and what I wanted him to write. I suggested "It's Only Rock'n'Roll". "Not very original", he sneered. "Do you know that nine out of ten people ask for that?".

Mind you, he inscribed it as requested.

Muhammad Ali, New York - October 1993.

First time ever in the US and by sheer fluke within 3 days I get to meet my all-time hero and get a pic with him.

Chas n Dave fantastic! I didn't know they were still going!

Hey Queenie...let me know if Ronnie is coming to Chicago for
a book-signing. I'll meet you there.

Most autographs I have are sports figures, a few musicians and
a couple tv personalities.

I do have Rolling Stones autographs from the VL tour (no Wyman) but
I didn't personally get them (or "meet" them). Also have a couple
(signed & numbered) mini-lithographs from a Ron Wood collectible cd single.
I think it was called "Show Me"....fairly rare i think.

I like to decorate my office with signed photos of people I've photographed etc...


IORR............but I like it!

Bill - ALO 2005 & 04, respectively.

I also shook "Charles Estepp"'s hand (dont even remember
which soap he was in - Rich man Poor Man?)
& I attended Floyd Patterson's burger restaurant Opening Day in ma town.
The man was there. Tough piece of a guy.

Plus a few more.

well i shook hands with mick taylor last night!

as far as autographs i got weird al yankovic to autograph my "in 3d" lp.. hopefully that counts

also i got jorge ben to autography an lp

and lou donaldson signed an lp of his

i'm not good about autographs though...i'm good at shaking hands..

Forgot Taylor. Bugged him in 05, 1½ month after Bill.
A Canadian dude, who often posted here before got Taylor's
& his band, the Finnish Wentus Blues Band's autographs.
My uncle got ALO's crow-kicks & my son got Bill's.
Me - I got the memories.

Yeah, been a couple of times. they do an acoustic set first half + you can ask questions etc. then second half is the hits etc. then at the end you can buy cd's, dvd's from Chas n get their autographs, meet the band etc. It's a top ol evening.
