Seems like a cool, regular Joe who just happens to be a kickass rocker millionaire in his worklife.

Why would someone claiming to dislike elitists move to Vail?!  

LOL Vail is the most elitist liberal shithole in CO, right up there with Boulder. It's just CA a few states over. Hilarious.

Truth

I see what you did there..

'Vails a shithole'  ...  lol.  Amazes me how some people can let some other people's politics complety ruin their entire outlook on things.

prob. one of the most beautiful cities in the U.S. and there's tons of conservative towns surrounding it like Minturn, Eagle, Leadville, Gypsum, Redcliff etc.

Meh.  At least he got to meet the guy.  My dad sold an antique colt to Hank Jr., and had to go through some sort of agent.

lars has great entertainment value. i enjoyed watching him cry, whine, and freak out in some kind of monster. he'd be great to have around. he'd constantly expose his buttons and i would push them. we'd fire up one of my old computers and i'd show him all the songs of his i had downloaded from napster. i'd get him all wound up and i'd watch that little bugger go.

This is one of those threads where GD shows it's hate of those more successful than they, their inability take take anything other than at face value, and their never-ending hypocrisy.

Lame. I never was much of a Hank Jr. fan, but Hank Sr., hell, he'd a probably invited your pa in to tie off on the couch with him.

That is how most famous people work.
Some go so far as to state that any attempt at interaction with the client will result in removal from the property and termination of the contract if you are working on their home.
A couple of people in my industry that I have worked with over the years have been instructed by client's personal assistants that they are not to address, or look at the client. If the client enters the room you are to immediately leave and wait until they are granted permission by staff to re-enter the room.
I have had to sign NDAs and leave my phone in my truck at several jobsites.

On the flip side I have had some interactions with several pretty well known people, some of whom treated me like family. It is kind of surreal passing some very well known public figure in their hallway at 8:00am when they just rolled out of bed and saying "good morning famous person" and they respond with "morning Atomic_Ferret, wife make coffee yet and did she give you a cup?"

The world of dealing with famous people is a strange one, that is for sure. Funny thing is, most of my clients are not famous but could buy most celebrities with the money they have in their couch cushions. Most of those people are a pleasure to deal with in comparison to celebs.

Yep.  He could have moved to Boulder, or Aspen.

He is.

I spent a good 20 minutes or so talking to him back stage where I was working on standby. Really down to Earth and if you didn't know who he was you'd never guess he was rock superstar like some of the other famous douche bags I met when I worked events at Scott Trade Center. Even brought me a cup of coffee from his dressing room when I commented on the burnt pond scum they had set out for us. I really don't get the hate here at all. While we didn't talk politics or anything like that the guy has never come out in support of any liberal bullshit and usually hints around about being a little more right leaning than not but overall he generally just keeps his mouth shut about politics.

Also the pot comments are kind of funny since he sobered up back in the late 90's as has remained so ever since.

I welcome him to the state, he is a short drive to hunting, fishing and getting out of the liberal commune.
