What's the most "losing my edge"-like accomplishment you can boast?

I ran into George Clinton on the street during my lunchbreak once. He was lost and looking for his hotel, as he had spent the night elsewhere after a gig the night before. I brought him up to the mailroom of my then job to use the phone. The bike messengers who recognized him were trippin'. This is a highly cherished memory.

Four on One might be my favorite Matador record.

I chatted with Mike Watt for 45 mins before a fIREHOSE gig in Edinburgh.

I've fleetingly met Paul McCartney, James Iha, Dave Navarro, Brian Eno, Syd Griffin, Genesis P Orridge, Boy George.

I've shared a chinese takeaway with Lionel Ritchie.

I've mixed the sound for some ads with Brian May.

I was at Sugar's first London gig.

And Dark Star's.

I saw NIN not long after Alex In NYC in a little club in Glasgow.

I went drinking with Lynnrd Skynnrd (sp?) and Sweep The Leg Johnny.

I made an album at the Who's old studio with Simon from the Cocteau Twins.

Context please.

or is that the point of these?

etc etc

oh, and we saw trent reznor at universal studios in orlando with an elderly couple. he looked bored.

ah, and james gandolfini (sp?) sat next to us at ihop in nashville.

nashville is a starfuckers town for sure. it's small enough that anybody's that's been there for a decent length of time is easily one degree of separation from somebody.

At Matt Br1nkman's loft in Olneyville, surrounded by Forcefield monsters. It was the last Landed show ever, Naut1cal Alm4nac and D3ad Mach1nes and some other bands played. Br1an Ch1ppendale ate all my wasabi peas.

The time before, with Marilyn Manson in the crowd, she jumped off stage and freaked my friend and me.

Also Nikki from KaitO hugged me after I told her the band's performance was great.

Rennie Sparks jumped up and down excitedly and patted my back when I asked her to autograph my copy of her collection of short stories.

I remember house
before the superclubs.
I remember house
when people knew the lyrics of house.
I remember house
before record labels sold the house.
I remember house
when house was about love...

I remember house
when house was more then just a name to package the sound of this emotion.
I remember house
when it was just one house.
I remember house
when house had artists, songwriters and personalities.
I remember house
when you didn't have to be a DJ just to be into house.
I remember house
when house was broke.
I remember house
when house was done in the house.
I remember house
when it WAS a spiritual thing...

I remember house
before it was techno
I remember house before it had an afro.
I remember house
before it was deep.
I remember house
before it was hard.

I remember house
when house had tempos.
I remember house
before mpc16's.
I remember house
before house had loots
I remember house
before the whole world knew.

I remember house
Do you remember house?
