What Musicians Have You Met?

I randomly met Gord Downie from The Tragically Hip in Kingston a couple years ago in a grocery store. I just said I was a big fan and actually talked with him briefly about the Boston Bruins (I know his Godfather is Harry Sinden). I don't think he still lives in Kingston so it was interesting to see him back there and buying groceries. I also met up with Bon Jovi in a Toronto restroom. He's not as big-headed as you'd think.

I've also met Gord Downie, and at the moment I can't remember where or how it happened. But I talked to him for about 5 minutes about music and life in general. He was nice. I believe I've mentioned this somewhere else on the forum. Can't find the post though.
