Ha ha! We, along with a couple of hundred other people, had just seen a screening of Ladies & Gentlemen. At the party afterwards, I went over to speak to Bill to find out what he thought of the film. He said he had forgotten how short the shows were back then and the fact that there was no encore in those days. He also said he felt the sound was muddy in places, to which I said I thought it was surprisingly good and great to experience in a cinema. He did then go on to say "at least you could hear the bass"! Classic stuff.

Two chaps from some group called the 'Mystery Jets'

I've met all of the Stones except Mick Taylor.Also met Jerry Hall, Jo Wood,the perfect Patricia Hansen,Shirley Watts, Jesse James Wood, Leah Wood,Blondie Chaplin,Chuck Leavell, Bobby Keyes,Jane Rose,Lisa Fischer,Darryl Jones,Bernard Fowler,basically the entire entourage!

Keith is the kindest and coolest; Mick Jagger is very polite; Bill Wyman is fun; Charlie Watts is beyond polite and cool.............

That's very cool - thanks for sharing the story!

Sting (was an arsehole)

People, people - please try to elaborate a bit (if u can do so without being sued)! It's mean of you to just drop a tempting morsel then leave.

ROPENI, you met the legend Jim Morrison?! Do share, please.

And we're still waiting to hear about the obnoxious phone call from L'Wren...

Who is Stipe ?

Michael Stipe, singer for R.E.M.

The only two I ever conversed much with:

- Alex Chilton, in a small club in Pittsburgh after one of his gigs, around 1990. He and his band members were loading his equipment, and I offered to give them a hand. They all hung around for about half an hour afterwards, and I talked at the bar with Alex. We talked about some bands, what he was doing careerwise etc. etc. Terrific guy, real relaxed and mellow.

- Pat Fish (aka "The Jazz Butcher" ) Talked to him after a show at a weird warehouse place in Pittsburgh on my birthday in 1991. You had to bring your own alcohol, and Pat was all to pleased to rap with me and a couple of friends till our beer ran out. Cool guy. I wondered what happened to old "Butch" and found his website:

[www.jazzbutcher.com]

Guess he's still gigging around. I still break into a chorus of "Bicycle Kid" now and again! Classic.

Little Steven (I interviewed him for the magazine I was writing for at the time). Very cool guy.

Bernard Fowler. Met him at a party the day before the Stones played in Bergen in 2006. We shared a cigarette and had a long chat. He was a very, very nice guy.

Jimmy Page

by chance, earlier today, in London.
