I know a woman who dated the keyboardist for Josie Cotton.

That's good enough for me. I can now die happy. :)

I kissed Exene Cervenka...yeah, I know I've mentioned this before, but throw me a bone, it may be my one claim to fame. Did I mention I was extremely drunk as well?

My claim to fame. A man lives down the street from me who was a member/songwriter for the Monkees (sp?), a 60s-70s band. :)

My mom has met Billy Joel.

Heres all I have managed to email:

Back in the eighties I was a marketing rep for RCA out of the Chicago area. My region at that time sold more Michael Jackson "BAD" albums, that's right "Vinyl" than any other region in the US and management forced me to get my picture taken with Wakko and

I also met Bono and Adam from U2 after the show they did at Music Hall in Cleveland Ohio 12/9/84. They signed my program and I told Bono how much I love the song Red Light -- he said "there's a lot hidden in that song that people don't realize"

Josie Cotton's song "Johnny are you queer?" was initially released on the Bomp label in 1980, and reissued by Elektra in 1981.

I was never aware that The Go-Go's even had a version of that song.

Has anybody else heard it?

i've heard it. i've heard both versions, and i prefer the go gos. the music quality is pretty bad like usual, but its the sense of pure girly fun that makes it something amazing.
