bdp24 -- I helped a veritable non-stop parade of H***wood/music industry celebs when I toiled at the Tower Records Classical Annex on the Sunset Strip in the early '80's. More celebs than I ever ran into during my many years on movie lots.

I passed Steve Martin as he was coming out of the Classical Annex, musta been in the late-90’s. When our eyes met he smiled, with a "Yeah, it’s really me" look on his face. When I didn’t react, the look turned into one of embarrassment ;-) .

Has everone heard the one about Brian Wilson in the Pop store? I’m not sure what year it was, but I’m thinking the early-80’s. He asked to use the restroom, and when told there wasn’t one for customer use (c’mon man, it’s Brian!) he walked over to an end cap and whipped it out, peeing right there in the store. Kookoo!

I have an autographed poster of iconic German soprano Elizabeth Schwarzkopf on my wall. My wife was working at the classical annex at the time. Frau Schwarzkopf was at least in her late sixties. She was staying at a hotel below the Sunset Strip.  She walked up the steep hill to the store completely on her own for the autograph session. My wife says she simply showed up at the door. No escorts.

bdp -- oh yeah, I remember that story!
