From what I have heard...Paul is amiable from what a Hotel clerk told me , Celine Dion is very nice according to a cabbie I know and I think Elvis Costello was pretty cool...eh Crazy? My blood boils when I hear of celebrity snobbery,,,of course regardless the public that haven't encountered the drip still adores the person!
CRAZY-HORSE Wrote:here's another piece of trivia from the same mate who got Stings autograph....
this time Gene Simmons at Perth Airport....
"would you mind signing this for me Gene?"
blank stare from Simmons for a few seconds...then grabs the album cover and pen and walks off...
my mate had to literally jog after him to keep up with him....
when he catches up with Simmons all he hears is Gene mockinghim sarcastically and repeating this line over and over again..."please sign this gene,please sign this gene,please sign this gene"

i guess we win some and we lose some,
but meeting the ones who cant be bothered with fans leaves a bitter taste in your mouth especially when youre big fans of that artist...
and IMO, whether they like it or not part of their job is to sign autographs,its not a paid job, but its an unwritten part fo their job description, afterall, its the fans who put them where they are...
like ive always said....
if you dont like wearing suit and tie and standing in front of tv cameras...dont become a politician
if you dont think you can put your life on the line everyday....................dont become a cop,firefighter or any other emergency services worker
if you dont want to be asked by fans to sign and pose for photo's...........dont become a celebrity,remain a recluse

The ultimate connection is between a performer and its' audience!
