The first time I met him in 93, he was super cool! He was still drinking too. We waited for him after soubdcheck at HARPOS in Detroit.
Second time, same place, 2 years later. Same situation. But he was not in a good mood…but we were told by one of his roadies that his uncle had died that day.
Last time. I splurged for the VIP backstage ticket. He was playing THE TOLKEN LOUNGE near Detroit. The place WAS PACKED!! Elbow to elbow!!! Ace was very cool. You could tell he was really tired. He acted like he was wore out.
I’m glad I did the VIP on the 2019 tour, because he DOUBLED THE COST of the VIP EXPERIENCE for his next leg of the tour!!!
