1. I met this guy once...

I think it was in Santa Barbara at a food Co-op. He was pretty cool and is no longer in show business, I guess.

6. oh, weird, well maybe he was between gigs

my friend knew who he was, cause she was way older than I was and talked to him about Woodstock. I remember her recommending me find the video and watch the documentary. It was pretty cool, I have to admit.
