No one super duper famous for me, but I did chat with Dick Dale, King of the Surf Guitar, in the lobby of a Seattle hotel a few years back. He was going to be playing at the Tractor that evening. The front desk kiddies in there early 20's had no idea who he was, so he was excited that I knew his music well. He lives down in Oregon and he told me the secret to his longevity was that he love got heavy into alcohol and drugs (hi @Swaye ). Told him that my daddy saw him place at the Riverside Armory back in 1962.

Also shared a beer with Art Alexakis of Everclear at Sassy's strip club in Portland about 10 years ago. Low key dude...wouldn't join me and my buddy at the meat rack
My sister is her publicist
I told her we jammed out to fantasy in the frat house back in the day.
Fifteen years ago he played the Emerald Queen. We both ended up at a private party the night before the show. Maybe 10 people were there. The Cold night air brought on a good asthmatic cough. Burdon, standing nearby asked, "Asthma?"
"Yep"
He had Asthma too. Turned me on to a new breathing drug. Mine only flares up occasionally. So does his. "Its a bitch when your scuba diving," he told me. The Hangers on got tired of our medical shop talk and moved on, leaving the two of us alone in the kitchen.
"We lost them pretty quick," I quipped. My glass was empty and I started towards the bar at the breakfast nook for another drink. Burdon, no shit, asked if he could join me. 2 Crowns with a splash of coke (Coca Cola).
I told him I was a big Jim Morrison fan.
'Fucking asshole." Burdon sneered. "I kicked that motherfucker out of a house in Beverly Hills," he added.
Seems the Lizard King was so drunk Burdon had to pull out a revolver and squeeze off a couple of rounds when Morrison decided to swing off a chandelier.
"Huh"
"You knew Hendrix?" I asked. BFF's, according to Burdon. He teared up telling me how Hendrix's girlfriend called him that early morning in 1970. Jimmy was unresponsive and barley breathing. "Call a fucking ambulance!" Burdon recalled yelling at the gacked up woman. She refused because there were drugs all through the flat. By the time Burdon got to the flat, Jimmy was dead.
We bullshitted for 15-20 minutes. Cool and true story, I know.
This rocker met Jesus
The Throbber used to beat off furiously to Belinda Carlisle and Olivia Newton John back in the 80's.
Other than that, no intimate upclose personal interaction with musicians.
I know the guitarist from the Used pretty well. They aren’t really famous though.
