Mick autographed my 'Rumours' CD cover

A shame, that I'm on everyone's Ignore List. Now I know how Bill Gamelson felt.
Guess I'll just go crawl under a rock.

I'm sorry, I didn't read your post until this morning.

You have guts and an incredible quick wit to think of asking him about his mom. I would stood there and then slunk to the recesses of the building like a cowering dog.

I do think Mick is approachable and therefore still "human". I have never seen him in person, but he acts that way on camera and from other stories of encounters with him, he seems genuinely human.

A guy who works in Colorado Springs, told me he used to work at a hotel in Hawaii, where Mick was a frequent guest...and my friend worked in the spa...as a massieus (sp?)... He said Mick was "a giant" (and difficult to work on). Mick was very gracious to all the staff and would allow his picture to be taken or would sign autographs etc.

What was even more nice, if Mick spotted a staff member off work, he'd invite them to come sit with him or would greet them with a hello and a wave in the parking lot.

I thought your story was interesting.

This is a cool story. I don't know how I never met him until lately. I myself must have been living under a rock during the 90's, cause I missed a lot of that sort of thing. Signings etc. by several of my fav artists. Having met Mick several times last year, I can say that he is a complete doll, and was very happy to see & sign several of my things. I don't think I posted a one of those pics here. I'm not sure that anyone would have been interested, but I'll post them tonight. There are some great shots of me mac'in out on Mick. lol. SO kidding, but it sure looks like it!
As far as his sig is worth. Not so much. Especially since he is still signing so much these days. When he gets all "Garbo" like and stops signing things, the autographs will be worth quite a bit. On a personal level, the things he signed for me & to me are priceless!

I'd like to see your photos, if you don't mind posting them.

thanks for sharing the story were you able to get any pictures with him?

I didn't bring a cam when I met him, and the 'flunkies' there probably would have barked if I did anyway!

Did I mention how tan he was? And not only that, he was taaaaaaaalll. I mean, I'm 5'10" foot, but if we stood side to side I would reckon his kneecaps would come up to my waist.

I think he's 6'6", very tall.
