OK - a kinda funny Radiohead story. A few years ago Radiohead were in LA recording and did a one off gig for those who suffered during the Haiti earthquake. I scored a ticket and flew to LA for the gig at the Fonda Theater....which is an itty bitty hall. I made friends with a bunch of fans and fellow musicians in line and they told me to relax - they would save me a seat in the balcony right above the stage.

So - being Radiohead all the cool LA folks come out. There's Danial Craig (James Bond), Maggie Gyllandhal, an old buddy - Cameron Crowe. And who am I sitting right in front of? Charlize Theron.....who is stone cold lovely. Anyway - the band is playing and Charlize is getting loaded. Really loaded. And she starts singing....in a key that hasn't been invented. Warbling is more like it. Finally, I can't take it anymore and I turn around and say, "Hey, Monster, can we dial it back a bit?" Well, I get the look of death from her. Still, she tones it down. And I spend the rest of the show thinking - I've blown it with one of the most lovely women on the planet. But, it was a great show.
