What or Who Have You Seen ?

[Scooter Montgomery]

I saw Monica Lewinsky in Bed Bath and Beyond right after the bj controversy.  I wanted to ask her if she was looking for stain remover.

Her father is a Doctor who does radiology and is a photogragher on the side. The company that I work for does radiation shielding and we use his artwork for inside one if our HDR enclosures, and had been since before the whole bj thing happened. One day a bunch of us were on a conference call with him, after the bj thing, and one of my coworkers asked completely not thinking just trying to make some small talk asks  "so how are things with the family?"

The only person of note I've met since then was Bill Gates (at a 'new hires' meet and greet at Microsoft) and frankly he was a lot less cool than the folks I met in the music industry.

Bill Gates is the only person I know of that owns a steet legal Porsche 959.

I was driving down the main street of Carson City, NV and saw a pickup truck with a personalized license plate "Bell X1".  Looked up at the driver and sure enough it was Chuck Yeager.  I've seen him fly his P-51 at an airshow and also heard him speak at Oshkosh but it was still kind of fun to see him motoring down the road in a pickup truck.

This one is third hand, and way third hand at that.  An old bass playing friend had a band many years ago.  They managed to somehow  get enough money together to fly themselves and their equipment to Hawaii, I think for a rock festival.   They were jamming in a local club one night and Jimi Hendrix came in and politely asked if he could play with them for awhile. 

I've heard this story 500 times over the years, how my buddy once played with Hendrix.

That would have been the tits !

My Cousin had a band when he was at WVU and Spirt played a Concert there .

My cousin's band played warm up to Spirit , plus my cousin got to jam with Spirt earlier in the day.

Not quite up to Hendrix stature , but at the time Spirit was a popular Band in the early '70s w. songs like " 1984 " and " I Got a Line on You "

Really cool Jimi story. How damn cool is that??

Loved Randy California and Spirit! If I remember right his step dad Ed Cassidy played drums. Caught them in Austin at the old Armadillo World Headquarters when they were touring for the Spirit of '76 album.

Sat and had a smoke with Bob Uecker after I put wood floors down at his house. Even had a chance to yell at him. Also, my girlfriend sat next to the great Micheal Jordan at a casino in Chicago. She even won $300 that night.

Tim McGraw and Faith Hill 

Tony Hawk when we built his ramp for the tour a few years back. He was almost terrified of the solid 3 feet of vert

Lady Gaga when she drunkenly changed the design of her entire stage at 3 AM

I stood close to Michael Jackson right before he died

I've met the remaining members of the Grateful Dead and the Allman Brothers. Greg Allman's daughter made a serious disturbance in my pants

My personal favorite was Keith Richards. I did a large mural painting of him for the president of the company and he brought Keith in for me to meet him. I instantly wanted to do drugs

[DoubleEagle]

Keith probably had a " joint " somewhere hidden in his hair.

That would have taken the " cake " to have met him !

Obliterated. I got completely and utterly obliterated. I told him that there are three things the Amish know how to do well.

1. Grow stuff

2. Drugs

3. Stay out of trouble

He was quite understanding and an overall fun character to hang out with
