Some punks I knew ran into Joe Strummer in a bar in NYC, when he was singing for the Pogues. They had a couple of drinks together and on his way out left $50 for the bartender, giving his snaggletoothed grin and saying "I did that 'cause I got class." Seems like he was pretty down-to-earth, at least at that point in his career.

Perry Farrell is especially nice, full of wonder at having met a new person!

The again he generally has no idea where he is most of the time.

oh, and my friends' band has just been on tour with the human league, and they say phil oakey is an absolute diamond. went out of his way to look after them, and repeatedly bigged them up to the audiences.

AWWW. I have a little crush on Phil Oakey (even the Phil Oakey of 2006) and this helps that. Plus it's sweet to know that one of your teen idols is sweet. Aw. That's so, so good to know.

Robyn Hitchcock seems nice, if your into raving lunatics!

I didn't get an extremely nice vibe from him. I mean he didn't seem like a bad guy, but he seemed a bit neurotic, fussy and unapproachable.
