    That brings back a mem. I was at a Niagara Falls, NY Casino, over-nighted for a Yes show my buddies treated me to for my bday. Went way early, they wanted to gamble and found out I don't.

    I bellied up to the bar, this older, seemingly wasted guy orders 2 beers over my shoulder. I told the barkeep, "yeah put it on my tab". Suddenly I'm with him and his buddy having a great time for about 4 hours.

    My buddies came and we went for dinner. They're giving me the, "wow, that guy's a junkie, what are you doing"? He wasn't, he used to be. lol

    Walk in for the show, "there he is"! Them again. They had great seats, said come back here after the show. I do, we go backstage, the band knows him. Turns out, the other guy is his "handler". Says to me privately, "Do you know who the NY Dolls are"? Yeah.

    "Well that was Dave's band, he was the singer". He was pissed that he told me.lol I told him I didn't give a Satoshi Nakamoto, I don't star gaze. Now it's like 1am and we're back in the bar. They bailed about 2. His handler gave me his card and Dave said, "come to NY man, look me up".

    I never did, but he's still doing well. I prolly should someday. That was a fun night, my guts were sore from laughing so much. Told my buddies in the morning, "yeah, that 'junkie' was the singer for the NY Dolls". lol

    I showed them his pics via google. They were beside themselves. Never judge a book by it's cover.

    The way the Yes guys knew him and he introduced me as his buddy...and I had no idea who he was.lol
