Robert Fripp made a fool of me in his online diary: (http://www.dgmlive.com/diaries.htm?entry=17270)

The Reception & Transmission Of Ignorance II…

THE LADDER Yes Symphonic Prog
… I can't review this album and simply ignore 'Lightening Strikes' no matter how hard I'm trying to. It is a VERY cheesey, cringe- worthyly instrumentated, latino-dance number with about as much charm as Robert Fripp on a date. The Hallway.

"Perhaps Mr. The Hallway will remind me of our date together? I don’t recall ever dating someone with this name and, given the demographics of prog fans, have a hunch this date was anyway inherently unlikely. Now, as a happily married man about to celebrate his 24th. wedding anniversary, it is unlikely that Mr. Hallway will ever know how charming Fripp might be."

I e-mailed him an apology though!

I met Clint Eastwood one of the greatest prog artists of all time and spoke with him for about 15 minutes. But we talked about his movies not his work in progressive rock music.
 
LOL
LOLLOLLOL       I could always see him as president of the United States. I guess you could with lots of characters but, with Eastwood ..well, you know.......My fellow Americans.....this is a 357 magnum. It can take your head right off. Now you gotta ask yourself this question,  did I use 5 shots? or 6? So go ahead.....and make my day.

I hired Patrick Moraz for the CHAT I tour, so he came to the house and played and hung around. Kept me on the mailing list so I got invites to his "house musician" gigs for awhile at the Baked Potato in Pasadena and the Musician's Institute appearances in Hollywood. Always stopped by to chat. A very charming and personable guy.
 
At a promo appearance for Keys To Ascension, I got to talk with Alan White one-on-one for a few minutes. Told a funny story about hanging out with John Lennon (who was making crank calls).
 
One time won a contest (among others) to get backstage passes to a solo Rick Wakeman show when he was touring for Silent Nights. Regaled us all with some jokes and a story involving Chas Cronk, who was part of Rick's band then, back in the Strawbs days.
 
Talked briefly with Peter Banks at a Yesfest.
 
Met Steve Morse after a Dregs reunion gig and chatted briefly about how he felt the show had gone.
 
Not prog, but went to a party of Bill Lordan's girlfriend and he talked about recording with Dave Steffan.

i briefly met Robert Sprenger of Starchild, all he could do was smirk and say, "I've been smokin' dope all day long"-that was the end of that

though not prog, i met John Ricci of Exciter briefly, he was polite

i met the singer of the Canadian group Cain at a pub,he went into a spiel about the different types of acid he used to do-that was the end of that
 
met a member of The Cooper Brothers who used to be a bartender at a place in Ontario, Canada, i did not find him polite or interesting
 
actually, the only group i have listed here that really is prog at all is Starchild

the only thing ive done is meet Mikael Akerfeldt in 2005, and i dont even listen to Opeth as much as I used to. I made eye contact with Jordan Rudess once during a gig in Asbury Park (front row) back in 2006 Clown
