I had the strangest meeting with Neil Young. I shared a Roast turkey dinner with him backstage at Maple Leaf Gardens. I was hanging out with my buddies MacLean and MacLean and kinda strange too they opened up for Neil. As it was we all shared the same huge dressing room and on his contract rider neil had demanded a full Roast Turkey dinner with all the trimmings. I cant remember whether this was before the show or after. anyway neil invited us to join him and i sat beside neil and we had a most pleasant conversation while we enjoyed the meal.
In 1993 I was a software buyer for Wiseguy computers (5 stores) I was in Los Vegas for the computer Show and I was invited to meet Berkeley Breathed at the opening party for his screensaver in Las Vegas in 1993. it was at a hotel cottage type thing. About 50 people all ad men, promoters and other 'suits' and a dozen or so gorgeous models. Berkeley had not much interest in any of them and either did I . I was there for the week at the computer show and was glitzed out. Anyhow Berkeley and I ended up ducking out of the main room and we chatted for an hour or so and quaffed a few nice cold beers. I remember him as sort of nicely outre type guy that would come across as standoffish but we had a pleasant conversation.it was not long after this he went into a self-imposed exile for a few years.
