Here's our first photo.  It's from Jimmy Tinoco in Southern California, and Jimmy writes:
"Here is a picture of me and Ian McCulloch of Echo and the Bunnymen
outside of the Roxy Theatre in Hollywood.  This was taken on May 28, 2003
after his solo show for his "Slidling" album.  Ian is one of my all time
favorite singers (second only to Robert Smith) and it was a too quick, but
nonetheless, awesome encounter."
Our next photos are from the 'Henderson kids' of Sun Valley, California.  They
ran into Terri Nunn of Berlin backstage at Universal, in the summer of '04.  
They took two pictures, one serious, the other - you be the judge!!!

Below is a photo of Shawn
Watson from Denver with the
always wonderful Boy George.  
Shawn says he was in Vegas
(baby) when the picture was
taken - he doesn't say how long
it took to get the lipstick off!!!
The next two shots are actually from a good friend of mine -
and a great actor - Jay Tando.  Anytime I do a gig in Southern
CA, from a Depeche Mode convention to spinning at The
Palace, I look for Jay.  It's not a 'Blade' gig if Jay isn't there!  
In these shots he's with Mike Score of A Flock Of Seagulls, and
then with the pride of Manchester, Stephen Patrick Morrissey.
Three shots from Shellie McMeekin from Playa Del Rey, CA.  The first from god-knows-when in the 80s of Shellie with Eddie Van Halen.  Great 80s' look
Shellie, jeans in the boots, etc..  But that was back when Shellie insisted on being called Mrs. Van Halen.  The second shot is from summer of 1997 with the
late, great Michael Hutchence of INXS.  An amazing friend and performer.  Such a shame.  The third is with Jacob Dylan from 1998.  That was when Shellie
insisted on being called Mrs. Dylan.  I've skipped the kung fu photo and the whole Steven Seagal phase she went through and lets not even go to when
she demanded to be called Mrs. Seagal!
Great photo of Maggie White with one of my all-time music heroes,
Sting.  This was taken backstage at the Greek Theatre in Los
Angeles August 11th 2000 after one of his sold-out concerts.  
Incidentally, the photographer is a bit of a celeb himself.  The photo
was taken by Ian Copeland, brother of Miles and, of course, Stewart
- the brilliant drummer with The Police.
