Hey Retroverbial, I've got a Stapleton Airport story too.

I was on my first trip home after basic training in 1977 and walking around the airport with my spiffy blue uniform and newly shorn head feeling pretty dopey and I spotted a rough looking bunch in leather jackets standing off to themselves...Steppenwolf. It probably looked pretty wierd, a 17 year old kid in a uniform with a crew cut hanging with a bunch of long hair biker looking guys but I couldn't pass up the chance to say hi.

Have had the pleasure of meeting several well known musicians but always at or after their shows. Even with all the traveling I've done for work I think that's the only time I've crossed paths with musicians away from a venue.

Pretty cool, Noley. Thanks for sharing!

Oi! Drinking with Joe Walsh sounds like a better/funner way to kill time in an airport.

Cheersh,

I mentioned this before but here it is again. Back in 78 I was in the old Ritz in NY on a Monday night which was called depression night as it was $2 to get in. I was upstairs leaning against the railing talking to this guy in a leather jacket. The big screen dropped down over the dance floor and they started showing videos when The Ramones Rock and Roll High School came on, I started laughing and told him that he looked like the guy in the Ramones and he said I am the guy in the Ramones and then I was like Oh $@!& Johnny Ramone. Just then the back door opened and out came Joey who Johnny introduced me. Very cool for 17, I also found myself in the bathroom at Pure Platinum using the urinal when a wisecracking guy comes and uses the urinal next to me and it was Diamond Dave who was blitzed and just wisecracking all over the place. No I did not shake his hand but met him again in the city in a club called Kaos some years later when he was kind of out of the loop but was still partying up a storm.

It is here in Tennessee also,the lawmakers have been giving people fits because of a law that allows guns in bars.
