I Kick Your BoomBoom Down
I Kick Your BoomBoom Down I think I have mentioned before that I have had a slew of celebrity encounters through out the my time here on this flat planet we call home. Back in the 90s, I was in a band.. like everyone else in the 90s. We started in back yards and moved up into bars. Little by little we started to make a name for ourselves on the small local scene. A series of shows landed us a spot opening on the third stage of a music festival during Fiesta, the big party even for the city. Our band was on first, so we played while the crowd was still trickling into the venue. No big deal, we always did very well as an opening act. This is not the story though. We walked off to the backstaging area and things were tight backstage while crews were rushing around to change out the equipment for the next act. That following act happened to be a white rapper from up north who had a catchy hit on the radio. He was that guy who did, Informer. Kind of a sputtering kind of guy, I had no problems with him, but we bumped into each other and he stumbled. Without warning he launches into a loud flustering commotion in front of me and all i heard was, a threat about kicking my ass at the end of it. So, I reacted. I shoved this white rapper and 25 guys swarmed me and while me and the band are trading punches with this crew, a person cut through the chaos and separated us. The fight ended immediately and we were through the posse with him parting the crowd for us to get through. That man was Weird Al, Yankovic. |

When you said 'white rapper from up north' I had to check the song and see if it was my 8 Mile homeboy. It wasn't but I listened to the song. You should have hit him harder! So you opened for Weird Al. Neat. The closest I got to a celebrity was sitting 2 rows away from Col. Klink while seeing a college production of The Crucible. Opportunity may knock only once, but temptation bangs on the door forever!
