list famous musicians you've met

I've babbled so much drunk shit to DJs at raves it's untrue (and faintly embarrassing)

Accosting Murderbot at 5am in an all night greasy spoon cafe whilst dressed as a zombie is the most recent whilst barely being able to stand up. I felt neither big or clever the next morning

Sheryl Crow

John Mayer

Yo-Yo Ma

Brian Blade

Dave Brubeck (he's mah great-gramps)

I was in Ann Arbor last Wednesday playing roadie for my buddies folk band, and I'm 75% sure that Tadd Mullinix unlocked and held a door open for me as I was loading shit into my buds car. I'm waiting for confirmation, however. Watch this space WATMM...

Philip Glass

 

I forgot about him.

I actually was (briefly) in an art movie that he did the music to called Naqoyqatsi.

My gf at the time worked on the movie and I was recruited to be in a scene where they got us drunk and fed us a super fancy, 30 course meal while filming us.

It was kind of pike a huge party with a bunch of strangers seated at one big table. Phillip Glass was at the other end of the table from me but when I went to the bathroom, he pissed in the urinal next to me.

no, awesome minimalist composer philip glass, on a solo piano tour about ten years ago.

he was super chilled out. if you aren't familiar with philip glass i recommend you check him out.

i'm already familiar with Phillip Glass. thanks anyways.

not familiar enough to know his first name only has one 'l' in it, it would seem.

few ppl i'm proud to have met/ touched, lol (appropriately) that i'd care to mention: Dave Grohl, Pat Smear, Aphex Twin, Andy Turner, Roots Manuver, Rob Mitchell, Two Lone Swordsmen.

seen loads of 'famous' ppl out and about but didn't bother to approach them/ saw them from afar/ didn't know what to say/ couldn't care less.. :)
