'
last time i saw old Chezza, she was on 'Bid Up Tv'
trying to flog an electric blanket and some diamonique

...how the mighty fall.

Didn't she also have Colonic Irrigation live on TV or is that last night's bottle of 'Tudor Rose' coming back to haunt me?

Solomon Burke. He was big.

He still is!

Most of mine tend to be footballers, as I do some work at the N.Ireland home games - apart from our own team, the visiting players have included those from Spain, Czech Republic, Wales and several others as well as club sides like Rangers, etc when theyve been playing here too.

Amongst the most pleasant (most of whom I have photos with) - Alex McLeish, Paul Le Guen, Barry Ferguson, Fernando Hierro, Ryan Giggs, Cesc Fabregas, Jan Koller, Pavel Nedved, Gus Poyet and (contrary to public persona) Dennis Wise.

For other sports figures, I mentioned Muhammad Ali earlier, which was something as its quite a big deal to meet your all time hero. The snooker player Alex Higgins was very nice too - even bought me a drink. This was when he was still at the top and before he became something of a twat. A few politicians too, sometimes during the course of my job, other times at football events - some were OK. The sports minister and MP, Kate Hoey was probably the nicest.

Musicians - Keith (I was too awestruck to mutter anything intelligible but got a handshake), Charlie (an absolute gent - he started chatting to me about George Best), Mick Taylor (very pleasant), Bruce Springsteen (I almost poked his eyes out), Lou Reed (surprisingly affable), John mayall (a very very weird person), Nils Lofgren (like myself, small and well formed), Steve Earle (funny guy - we compared skull rings) & his future wife Allison Moorer (she smells fantastic), Lucinda Williams (a hug and a kiss), Carlene Carter (likewise), legendary guitarist James Burton (a delightful old fella). I sort of got a grunt from Mick Jagger but it would be a stretch to say I 'met' him. He seemed more focussed on the two girls standing near me who spoke to him, though! Plus, most of the Stones backing musicians (all of them very nice) and er...Michael Cohl, although I tend to keep that one quiet as I have a public image to protect. Plenty of others but those are the main personalised ones I can think of. I met Pete Doherty at the Ronnie Wood gig at Drury Lane and he pretended he was someone else. Knob. I suppose you could count Richard Branson as a music figure too - he seemed a very nice chap.

maybe he was so far out of it, he thought he was someone else?

well he jumped on me from behind so maybe he thought I was kate Moss...

Gazza, must have been quite thrilling to meet Muhammad Ali!
No offense Mick.

I've met Lukester - he's about 6' 5".

Never met Alex Chilton - he's the biggest star of Big Star.

But Adrian did so on top of page 3... Your photo is Best tho'

Really like the pensive photo of Erik and Adrian-L on Page 3.

Maybe discussing the merits of "I'm a King Bee" versus "Start Me Up"?

these names surprise me as not friendly! especially mike farrell, who is involved in humanitarian efforts.

i agree that mickey dolenz is very nice...

someone mentioned megadeth - i have a pic of me with dave mustaine.

my two-cents about kathy griffin - she sucks. someone questioned her wearing fur and her reply was one of a cold-hearted b*tch.

She absolutely is, I 100% agree. I still find her celebrity talk really funny though.

Jeff Daniels
Alan Alda
Henry Winkler
Passed by Rod Steiger in the O'Hare Hyatt when I was 14 or so
Saw James Brown get out of his car at my school about a month before he died
Bumped into Elvis Costello on the corner of Michigan and Congress

Rockman - 5 or 6 days in a row! In a London bar. (Where else?!)

Nah... Not in Costa Rica.. Every once in a while we get a pic in the newspaper from Mel Gibson being drunk in a bar, but never met him. And believe me, those news come that often.

Sticking just to musicians but including a couple of tenuous ones (i.e. I shared an elevator with Brian May and used a stall next to Pete Doherty, although we did exchange a few words) my list is as follows (I have omitted the obvious backing musicians).

Mick Jagger
Keith Richards
Charlie Watts
Ronnie Wood
Bill Wyman
Mick Taylor
Slash
The Edge
Dave Gilmor
Bo Diddley
Jeff Beck
Sheryl Crow
Pete Doherty
Bob Geldorf
Brian May
Roger Taylor
David Bowie
Bjork
Jay Kay
Marianne Faithful
Noel Gallagher
James Blunt
David Gray
Andrea Corr
Rod Stewart
Mick Fleetwood
