Taking my kid to see Def Leppard Sunday. Have you ever met...
any famous musicians?

I've met Manson and Adam Ant. I met Dolly Pardon when I was a kid.

Who have you met?

I've met the R.E.M. guys several times. And Kate Pierson from the B52s bought me a glass of wine once!

15. She was HOT!
By the way. This was in 1991 or so. I was 22. She had to have been in her late 30s. I was introduced to her by REM's then-manager, Jefferson Holt. He just introduced her as "Kate." It took me about five minutes of conversation to realize that she wasn't just any Kate...

24. She turned 50 a couple of years ago.
It was on the news, and I was floored.

I just saw an old SNL where they performed "Dance This Mess Around". What a fun band!

3. I Had Dinner w/ Def Leppard
Edited on Mon Jul-18-05 03:08 PM by otohara
back when they were hot, hot, hot - and cute! I remember one of them gave me a wink and I blushed.

I also have a pic w/ Dolly and everyone around her is looking in weird directions, no one wanted to look at her bubbies.

I met lots of musician type stars from Def Leppard, Boz Skaggs to Yo-Yo Ma
