Weird and Wonderful People We Have Crossed Paths With

Years ago, on a quiet sunny morning, I was awakened from a pleasant sleep by someone singing in the street. He was half naked, bedraggled, riding an old bicycle and singing at the top of his lungs. It was unmistakably David Lee Roth. Apparently he had fallen on hard times and was staying at a local skid row hotel. It was somehow reassuring to hear a carefree soul in that moment singing IDGAF to the world.

About 20 years ago ...


She was dressed like a princess. White lace and fringe from her jet black hair to her ivory leather boots.


The lobby of the swank hotel was wide open to the cool night air. Gold, ornate mahogany and chandeliers.


A beefy group of corporate suits was mulling quietly in the center of the extravagant high ceiling space.


She ran with excitement to one of them who scooped her up in his arms and swung her around like a child.


She looked like a little girl, giddy, laughing, sweet and the total opposite of her stage persona.

He rushed out of the hotel lobby carrying a drink in one hand and a foot long cigar in the other.

Like he was LIT every waking hour before LIT was even a thing. One wild and crazy guy.

He jumped in a waiting taxi and jabbered nonstop the enire time of the fare.

A few months later he almost killed himself in a motorcycle accident and remains brain injured to this day.

I thought you were referring to Jackstar for a minute there.
