Earlier today I'm at Hale and Hearty at 49th and 7th Ave. It's a soup place. We are leaving and there's a guy sitting by himself eating soup. It's Lars Ulrich of Metallica. It was surreal. I have been such a huge fan of his since I started listening to them back in the early 80s. Imagine seeing a person you've idolized for over 20 years sitting right there in front of you. All I can say is "Big fan, big fan." He says, "Hey, thanks man." Very sincere and polite. I know he gets this all the time but I appreciate his simple response. I never acknowledge famous people I see in New York. I see them all the time. I guess I felt compelled this one time. Weird huh?
