I live in Australia.

Therefore, the number of bands that I listen to that have toured here in the last decade is very close to zero.

Ah well.

I've met Eric Burdon, but he's not prog.  Other than that, I haven't met anyone.  I need to get out more.

I got all the members of Camper Van Beethoven to sign an album.  Sat behind Firefall on an airplane several years ago.  Watched one of my kids get a signed drum stick from Phil Ehart.

meh - that's about it.  Pretty pitiful actually...

I remember meeting Frank Zappa in 1976 or 77. I was 19 or 20. Anyway, he was in Toronto for the Zoot Allures tour. Like a kid who listened to Zappa quite a bit, I was excited to meet him. I asked him for a autograph which he gave me and which I lost long ago. Oh well. I ended up with something a bit better. I remember giving him a cassette tape of some of the crazy antics a few of us were doing at the time. A bunch of us would do skits and record them. Anyway, I said to Frank, "if you ever wanna get rid of anyone at a party or whatever, just play this tape." He took the tape, and much to my delight ended up using some of what we did on the tape. We did a skit where we used the phrase, "ram it, ram it, ram it, ram it up your poop chute". In fact we used to say it all the time long before Sheik Yerbouti came out.

I had to laugh after hearing Sheik Yerbouti's Broken Hearts are for Assholes. My buddy and I just looked at each other and said, "he must have listened to our tape". Well, I will never know for sure, but I get the feeling he did, because I do remember what was on that tape.

Part of the lyrics for: "Broken Hearts are for Assholes"

That’s why I say
I’m gonna ram it, ram it, ram it
Ram it up yer poop chute
Corn hole
Ram it, ram it, ram it
Ram it up yer poop chute
Fist f**k
Ram it, ram it, ram it
Ram it up yer poop chute
Wrist-watch; crisco
Ram it, ram it, ram it
Ram it up yer poop chute
Pud!
