Alice Cooper, and Billy Gibbons.....

I had dinner at a table next to Laura Dern in Jiko at the Animal Kingdom lodge at Disney World. Our kids played and we chatted. I never let on that I knew who she was. We were just a pair of moms.

Having spent most of my life working in motion pictures and music businesses actors and musicians are just workers like the rest of us. More significant is my encounter with HM Queen Elizabeth II not long after her Coronation in 1953. Our infant school lined us kids up outside the school and gave us a flag to wave as her Majesty passed by on a tour of South London. Being a bolshie little chap I thew my flag at her in disgust.
