Perry Farrel from Jane's Addiction/Porno for Pyros also super nice, shared some fun gossip about other musicians, had a drink with me and my friends.

The DCUMs love to throw his name out at any opportunity! I met him while on family vacation in the Outer Banks. We were staying next door and we talked across our balconies for a few minutes. Very chill guy.

Ditto. Met him multiple times and a very nice man despite our political differences. Genuinely a nice guy.

When was that? Recently?

One summer day when I was probably around 11 or 12 years old, I'm sitting around trying to record songs off the radio when the DJ mentions that the Fat Boys will be making a surprise appearance at the local video rental store in an hour. Wipeout was, like, my favorite song and I listened to on repeat that summer. So I throw my trusty Polaroid camera in my backpack, run out of the house, hop on my bike and ride down to the video rental store. I along with about 150 other people wait in a line that stretched well outside the store in the hot summer sun. (Remember, I'm from the South - it was HOT.) We're all dripping in sweat when the Fat Boys finally pull up in a limo. (This alone was a big thrill - I'd never seen a limo before.) The limo sits outside the store for probably another 15 minutes before they get out. They were, indeed, very fat. They walk past the line, do one quick loop through the store, talk to no one and get back in their limo. One of the Fat Boys was taking one long swig from a 3 liter bottle of Coke while he walked past the line and looped through the store. Although I was angry that they didn't talk to anyone, that was impressive. But the crowd grew restless and started yelling at the limo, which remained parked in front of the video rental store once the Fat Boys got back in it. Then some other non-Fat Boy gets out of the limo and announces that the Fat Boys unfortunately have another engagement they need to get to, but they'll be sending their "friends" who are about to release their first album to do a meet and greet. We were told the name, but I had never heard of them so it didn't mean anything to me. We're told wait about 30 minutes. I was annoyed that I waited so long to see the Fat Boys but would only get to see some no-name group. But, I figure what do I have to lose so I stick around. Most people left, though. The "friends" arrive and spend about 2 hours with the small group of people left, including me. The video store let us have a bunch of drinks and candy, and the "friends" just hung out with us. They played their soon to be released album and asked what we thought. They started dancing when they played one song, and I got up and joined them. We take Polaroids together. The "friends" are wearing acid washed jeans, Reebok high tops with big scrunchy socks, and huge gold chain necklaces. I was wearing an Esprit t-shirt and looked like hell (the humidity did a number on my hair). I can recall these details because a collection of those Polaroids are in a frame on my office wall. They sign one of the photos "Dear [my name], Keep Rockin'! Your Pals, Salt-n-Pepa

Of all the reporters I met over the years, he was genuinely kind and gentlemanly and didn’t demand I do his research for him.
