| I'll add to my list with the names of (mostly) Canadian musicians I have either served drinks to or had a drink with after a show in the campus pub I worked at: The Skydiggers, Emm Gryner, Sarah Harmer, The Philosopher Kings, The Watchmen, Esthero, Reverend Horton Heat, Wild Strawberries, Wide Mouth Mason. Also Zamora the Torture King, Flex the Wonder Boy, Jack the Bulgarian Strongman, and Shane Koyczan, the world's best slam poet. |

When I was in the Uk last summer, I saw the Chelsea and England bench-warmer Wayne Bridge and his model wife shopping in Top Shop, Guildford.
I didn't recognise him at first, but then he sat down and he was unmistakeable. |

| Tony Blair - I was working at Financial Times in London, and he came to visit the Chief editor (who happened to work on the same floor as me). Tony Blair walked through our office - and though he didn't actually speak to me, he chatted to my female colleagues (who, BTW, swooned!) He came across as a very genuine and warm person. |

Myself and some friends were invited backstage after seeing Massive Attack play in the velodrome, San Sebasti�n, Spain. Hardly rock and roll, but we enjoyed a few beers whilst we chatted about how the tour was going etc.
Good friend of mine is close to Beth from Portishead and I've been lucky enough to meet her on a few occasions |

Cool.
And, you know, that doesn't strike me as a person someone would lie about. Where did you meet him? |
Im honestly not lying, im from New Zealand actually. I was on a school camp and we were going on a bush walk, me and my mate were pissing around and he randomly walked by....we talked for maybe ten minutes as we recognized him, he signed my bag (i was young so those things counted) then i took him to my teacher and he met the class.....was a real normal guy aye, just reminded me of my grandad, wasnt angry, just talked and asked if we were enjoying our walk etc etc |

The Rolling Stones
Only 3 of them impressed me as being relatively sane people |
After having thought about it I'd like to revise this to 2. The 3rd was a lot of fun to party with (scores points with me!) but in the end out of his mind too. |
