MEETING TOMMY LEE (NEVER A DULL MOMENT TOUR) IN SEATTLE, WASHINGTON.
SO I CALL UP KISW RADIO STATION. I ASK WHEN IS TOMMY COMING IN FOR THE INTERVIEW. THEY SAY ABOUT 1 PM. I HANG OUT FRONT OF THE BUILDING AND WAIT. HERE COMES UP A NICE BIGGER CAR WITH TINTED WINDOWS. TOMMY COMES OUT…..WOW WHAT A TRIP, I HAVE WAITED FOR OVER 20 YEARS TO MEET HIM. HEY TBONE, CAN I CHAT WITH YA AFTER THE INTERVIEW? YEAH, SURE MAN. OK, THANKS. AFTER THE INTERVIEW I MEET UP WITH TOMMY AND THERE ARE 2 KIDS WAITING TO MEET HIM TOO. THEY ASK IF THEY COULD GO FIRST. I SAY, SURE…..MORE TIME FOR ME….LOL TOMMY SIGNS THEIR DRUMSTICKS AND TALKS ABOUT HOW YOU HAVE TO PRACTICE TO SIGN THEM GOOD.
I GET MY TURN. TOMMY REACHES FOR MY STUFF AND I SAY, WAIT A MINUTE DUDE. I HAVE THIS FOR YOU. HE SAYS WHAT? I HAND HIM A STARBUCK’S GIFT CARD. TOMMY SAYS, NO FUCKING WAY! NO ONE HAS EVER GIVING ME A FUCKING THING!! I SAY IT’S ONLY FOR $10 AND I WOULD HAVE GOT YA A $20 ONE, BUT I WANTED TO GET DRUNK AT YOUR SHOW TONIGHT. HE LAUGHS HIS ASS OFF!!!!
SO I HAND HIM MY DR. FEELGOOD TICKET AND HE SAYS, YOU FUCKING SAW US IN GERMANY. I SAID YEP, WAS IN THE ARMY AT THE TIME. THEN I ASK FOR A PIC WITH HIM AND BEFORE I EVEN HANDED THE CAMERA TO HIS BODYGUARD HE HAD HIS ARM AROUND ME. I ACTUALLY GOT ABOUT 10-15 MINUTES WITH HIM AND TALKED ABOUT HIS NEW ALBUM NEVER A DULL MOMENT. HE WAS SO COOL AND WAS SO DOWN TO EARTH. WHEN HE LEFT I GAVE HIM THE ROCKER SIGN AND HE DID IT BACK (AS HE WAS LEAVING IN A JEEP) AND HE WAS HEAD BANGING…..WHAT A COOL FUCKING DUDE!!!!! GOTTA LOVE TBONE!!!
