(14,400 posts)I had lunch with Midnight Oil at a truck stop in British Columbia on their Diesel and Dust tour. I was with my parents and driving to Vancouver to meet a friend when they came in and sat near us. They asked a question about the area, I answered and about a minute later figured out why the massive bald dude looked familiar. They invited me over to their table and we chatted while we ate until their bus driver came in and gave them shit for being late. My parents were surprisingly patient with me on this one.
I, and a couple of friends, got drunk with Henry Rollins after a Rollins Band show back in the early 90's. He's an impressive individual, I wish I had of made more of an attempt to stay in touch with him.
When I was a kid maybe 12 or so, my brother and my father and I went fishing at a fly in trophy fishing lodge with James Best, better known as Sheriff Roscoe P. Coltrane (it helps if you say it in his voice) from The Dukes of Hazzard. Well he just happened to be there at the same time but man he was one hell of a lot of fun in the lodge after fishing. He came out with us on his last day at the lodge and I'll never forget him, helped me pull in a really big Lake Trout.
