[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is an old story, and you may have to be an old punk rocker to appreciate it...

I met Johnny Rotten in 1981, I think. PiL was touring and I desperately wanted to get into the show but was underage, so a friend and I snuck in before the soundcheck and hid in the bathrooms. When we heard the band start, we ran out toward him, screaming his name. The funny thing is that he was sitting on a table and didn't flinch, as though this happened every day. Security started to throw us out but he told them to leave us alone. We chatted for a little while and we gave him some tulips we'd brought. He really loved that and said, "Ah, the flowers of romance...," which made us giggle.

We then explained that we couldn't get into the show because we were underage, so he said he'd put us on the guest list. Before we left, he asked for a kiss...and yes, his teeth lived up to his name.

Later that night we came back to find that the club wouldn't let us in without IDs, even though we were on the guest list. We were so upset. We ran to the backstage entrance and met the band as they were going on and told Johnny what was going on. He said he'd help us out. Sure enough, he sent his tour manager out several times during the concert (!) to negotiate with the bouncers, who wouldn't budge. We were hysterically sobbing at this point. Finally, the tour manager said that she would put us backstage so that there was no way we could get to the bar, and the bouncers finally agreed. During the show, Johnny saw us, grinned, and said into the microphone, "See? I told you I'd get you in."

He has a reputation as the biggest asshole ever, but he was incredibly nice to a couple of 15-year-old fans that night.[/quote]

This is a great story. But, you were seriously crying? That is hilarious! [/quote]
