i know something we can do that will get on some people's nerves and take up a lot of mail space. it's kinda similiar to the stats thing. what's everyone's claim to fame?
i'll start. 1.) in 1992 i had dinner in burger king with martin and rob and sice from boo radleys. i ended up hanging out with them all night and woke up in a stupor on the tour bus at five in the morning not quite remembering how i got there.
My wife's boss is mates with the other one out of the Boo Radleys, Tim, the one who looks like Lurch (I think). I only found this out last night, prompting me to dust off my Giant Steps tape. It's better than I remembered it, especially Leaves and Sand.
2.) i snuck onto the band GENE's tour bus a couple years back (again, in a drunken stupor) and began telling them they'll never be as good as the smiths. the singer was rolling a big fat doobie and the guitar player was giving an interview to one of my friends from a rival radio station. needless to say i was kicked off the bus.
My mate shook hands with Lou Barlow through the van window. When he was a Dinosaur. I once saw Terry Scott (of Curlywurlyfame) eating an ice cream in Bournemouth. I think he was pissed. I once saw Rodney Bewes (of Whtever Happened to the Likely Lads? fame) in the pub. I was quite embarrassingly excited, because I love him dearly. It was the day of the big Mandela concert. I followed the fat one out of REM around San Sebastian. He stopped in all the cake shop windows (honest). Rock'n'roll. I once nearly ran over Valeri Karpin, a very good footballer. It would have put paid to his multi-million peseta move to Valencia. I have seen Worzel Gummidge in real life. The song "Cookie Jar" by Fuzzy Haskins was written for me.
3.) i got a picture of me shaking hands with david j (he of bauhaus and love and rockets).
I've had my picture taken with Barry Sheene, former world motor-cycling champion. Around about the same time as Showaddywaddy were hot news.
4.)and, pertaining to belle and sebastian in high school, in french class, the teacher re-named me sebastian, and thus i was called sebastian for two years by everyone in the school.
There's no answer to that one.
i was born on elvis' birthday (jan. 8)
Kylie's. Or the day before. Same year and everything. She's got more money than me though. Shocking, isn't it?
that's it for me. -brad
And me. But I'll be back when I can think of some more. Unless this thread is banned for its complete lack of relevance.
