Yet another Memphis R.E.M. pissing incident:
At a Rocket from the Crypt show about 1994 or so, I happened to notice that the guy at the next urinal was Peter Buck.
VIBRO:
Uh, hey! You’re Peter Buck!
PB:
Yeah.
VIBRO:
Hey you’re…uh…like…really cool, man!
PB
(zips pants)
Yeah.
I felt like such a dorkus.
At the Omni hotel in NYC in 1982, it was Rock Hudson to the left of me and Jim Kerr of Simple Minds to my right. Odd moment, that.

My ex girlfriend passed TP to Nichelle Nichols earlier this summer at a Star Trek con in Seattle shortly before making the mistake of getting on an elevator with a bunch of S/F lardys who broke the contraption and left her stuck ther for an hour or so.
I don’t think I have ever let water next to a famous person, but I have had sex in a bed where several famous people have slept (slept there too, but that is less exciting). I used to date the daughter of a famous artist (sculptor) who is into Harley’s and rides with a group called the “Uglys” (could be Uglies, I’m not sure of the spelling.) anyhow some of the members have slept at this artists house in Southern Oregon in the guest room which I shared with his daughter while there. These persons are Larry Hagman, Dave Crosby, (Both on original livers at the time), Jack Nicholson, Dan Haggardy, and Peter Fonda. I also used the guest toilet, which I assume at least some of them used.
Who would have thought that Peter Buck was a Rocket from the Crypt fan?
I have never pissed next to a famous person, but I did ask Colin Quinn where the john was in a comedy club as he was being announced on stage. His directions were accurate, but not very funny.

Jerry Butler, about 1962, Richmond Virginia. The Mosque.
You can’t call it The Mosque anymore, people were offended. It has been given the fabulous new name, “The Landmark.”
Wah! No fair; two people here have pissed with REM, and I haven’t.
Wait, I can’t. I’m a chick. Besides, I could be pissing in the stall next to Britney Spears and I’d be too clueless to notice. Not that I have any desire to piss next to Britney Spears.
Damnit…
I mis-read the title at first, and thought it said “Who’s the most famous person you’ve pissed off?” (Not literally, of course)
THAT would be an interesting thread.
Charlton Heston; about 4 or 5 years ago, NYC. We chatted very briefly.
I pissed next to Bobby Ball just a few weeks ago in a club in Belfast.
“Rock On, Tommy…” (does anyone in America know who he is…???)
Though nopt in t5he stratosphere of Bobby Ball, I once pissed next to Bertie Ahern, an Taoiseach (Prime Minister) of Ireland.
Funny story (and very relevant at the moment)
Bertie Ahern and I share a local pub. This time last year or so, Ireland had a referendum concerning the Treaty of Nice. It was voted down, and Bertie was under alot of pressure to explain this at the EU conference at Stockholm. A few days after he returned, he was drinking in the pub, as was I.
Myself and a friend went to urinate before we left for home. We each took station at the trough, and were chatting away when Bertie ahern walks in, stands in the middle of us and unzips.
Now, I’m not really a supporter of Berties politics, but you tend to notice when a leader of the free world is pissing beside you.
My friend noticed this too, and, as one never to waste an oppertunity, said to Bertie “I’ll bet their crucifying you over in Stockholm” (or words to that effect).
Bertie, replied (and these are his exact words) “Sometimes, I wish I could tell them all to fuck off”.
My friend and I found this hillarious.
And on a side note, Bertie left without washing his hands.
A gay friend of mine once peed next to songwriter Jim Steinman, who has had a crush on for years.
Montel Williams says he is always having people talk to him in this situation. He always wants to turn sideways and shake their hand (while, presumably, peeing on their shoes).
Which would then show up on Ebay. . .
Around 30 years ago when I was a little kid I peed next to Paul Lynde. For you younger folks, he was the middle guy on Hollywood Squares before Whoopie.
Haj
About two weeks ago I peed next to Sam Roberts, whose song “Brother Down” is currently all over Canadian pop and rock radio.
My female friends whom I went to the concert with were sorta jealous.
Think he remembers you now?
d&r
Luna Thanks for that info re the Mosque. I graduated from college in that lovely building. I pissed next to The Ice Man there. Landmark my ass!
[Er, uh, just why are you reading this thread?]
One of the Byrds–I’m not sure which one. It was at a fair in Winnebago County.
dantheman:
Do I think he remembers me now? I don’t think he remembered me five minutes after we met.
