Not quite Metallica. More R&B and some rock. Remember Goldenwest in HB? There used to be a cigar shop at Goldenwest & Warner (if you knew Phil, you could get Cubans). In the early 00s, they had a giant Sony big screen and would close down for five of us to watch basketball games, eat, smoke cigars and drink wine. The group was Phil and his wife Glenda, myself, a retired colonel who worked as a liaison between the military (Colin Powell recommended him for OCS) and the company and the manager of Motley Crue (I think he also managed Nickelback and Cinderella).
My uncle owned a record company when I was a kid. I produced a couple of locals. I did some work with McFadden and Whitehead and did some other stuff. One of my best friends/cousins from a black mom and dad has play everyone from Duke Ellington to Phil Collins and NWA and does music contracted for a lot of the music shows on TV.
A really funny story that he created was at the taping for Dave Thomas' special A Home for the Holidays, a special encouraging adoption. My buddy Mike and I were backstage getting some food from the spread. This tall, blond lady with a little bit of a Southern accent said, Y'all are single, aren't you?"
I said, "Yes" without turning around to see her.
She said, "Go sit at a table, get some juice or water, I'll make you a plate."
A couple of minutes later she shows up with a plate for each of us. It was Faith Hill.
