Gollum, dude I hate to say this but could it have been your make-out session with Ellen DeGenerate that caused her to flip sides?

And thanks for clocking that surfer punk Vedder!

'Clearly I remember,
Knocking out the punk,
Seemed a harmless little fook,
... Gollum spoke in,
Class today'

 

[gollum]

HAHAHA Knocking out Vedder got me on MTV News.

Ellen's brother Vance said the same thing. How it happened was Vance was in a band called "The Cold". AWESOME New Wave Band in New Orleans in the late 1970s-1980s. I was 16 at the time and in lust with the lead singer (Barbara Menendez see pic). I put on my best British accent and went to see them at Tipitina's. I said that I was writing a story on them for Teen Beat (or maybe Mersey Beat) Magazine. Vance came to the door and let me in back stage. After the show, we all went back to Vance's House, where he introduced me to his sister.

"​

Years later Vance was working on the Daily Show with John Stewart. I emailed him and told him the whole story. He said they always wondered why that story never showed up in the magazine. HAHAHA

Best-Mike

Last year I met Tommy Smothers at the Oakland Airport in Calif. while standing in the security line. Great guy, was very open to talk to. He was flying down to Vegas to do a show with his brother Dick at the time. Great experience to actually talk to somebody that famous. I remember watching the Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour show on CBS back in the 1960's when I was a kid.
