Most feeble claim to fame.

Harlan Ellison is a big fat jerk, but he's the kind of big fat jerk I can respect.

Back in the 80s he was a relatively thin, intense jerk. I also heard him give a talk at a convention at the time. Wow.

No, he's the short one. Asimov's the fat jerk.

[usrlocal]

I just read recently that Asimov was into pinching women's butts. Very 'Mad Men'.

Oh yeah. I also got glared at once by John Lydon. I dared to look bored at a PiL concert. This was back in '89 when they sucked.

Duly noted.

I saw them around '86. They sucked then too.

Wish I'd seen them in '79/'80. They most definitely didn't suck then.

Aww, 'Album' was okay, especially 'Rise' and 'FFF'. But, yeah, the 'Metal Box' era is tops. Once Wobble and Levine were gone, it just wasn't the same.

That's the problem right there.

[usrlocal]

They've been touring recently, and playing 'Metal Box' live.

[Shauneroo]

Yeah, and their new stuff isn't bad at all.

This is very good.

I met Muhammad Ali once.  My wife worked at a museum in Washington DC where they held the premiere party for Jurassic Park.  So my wife and I and some of her co-workers crashed the party.  The stars of Jurassic Park were there, and so was Spielberg.  And Ali.  So I went to shake his hand and said it was a pleasure to meet him.  I was kinda tongue-tied about it...

I shook Jimmy Carter's hand before he was President.

That's way too good for this thread.

I'm sure he gets that a lot. Pretty good party crash, there, btw.

This reminds me of that story about Amy Carter and the Butthole Surfers...
