I must concede this about Ian Anderson though. He invested in fish processing not to expand his wealth, but to create employment in economically poor parts of the UK in order to create job opportunities for people who had no real hope at the time.So out of all of the rock star royalty he's probably the best one of all. He didn't like me much though, A $2 tip for hauling him and 2 other members of his hungover entourage to Olympia stadium??? Huh?
It's OK though. And he sure had a better career than I did,

Who else.. Anita Baker I refused to Chauffer because she had a reputation as being a nightmare to drive, so I avoided that drama. Martha Reeves was really a nice lady and according to her she had a fling with Paul McCartney back in the day. Nick Lachey was supposed to be a client but he was double-booked with another company so that didn't happen. I didn't drive him but I recall meeting Gilbert Godfrey at the height of the "In Japan, we bring the ocean to you.." joke, When I recognized him I did my best to contain my laughter thinking of that joke and that put a very sly smile on his face. Sadly he's gone now, Rest in peace GG. Then there was the keyboard player for Justin Beiber who told me some of the going ons in that drama, stating he was a good kid surrounded by a bunch of jackals. Who else? Oh yeah, Sade was very sweet, the keyboard player for The Four Tops shared some good stories of the Motown days.. And I'm sure there were others that I didn't know who they were but as a whole, very cool people and not you typical limo fare.
There were a few other interesting trips too.. Like the separated and stunningly beautiful wife of of one of the midwest's well know gangsters that took a very aggressive interest in me but no, I did not fall for her charms. I had no idea of who she really was then but picking up her neighbor about a month later and he filled me in. So staying away from still married women is a very good rule to follow,
Then there was the time one young lady threatened to shoot the other lady in the back seat while I was driving..., that sure was a fun time. About a year later I pick up the girl who was threatened and remembering me she informed me the girl who made the threat met a very violent end the very next day,,, And it was pretty obvious she had threatened the wrong person..
Ah yes..., the exciting life of a limo driver..
