It does sound suspiciously similar doesn't it?
I need Ned to clear up the story. He's the man. He'll know for sure.
I think that I heard the story I posted from Ken Eber back then? I'm not sure now. It was so long ago? Maybe the story that he had heard and repeated was plagiarized from Cosby?
Doug, Yes, Ned will know for sure. He gave me my first ride in a Cobra, a 260 powered car IIRC. His knowledge is amazing. In any case, Cosby's car and his experience with it is well documented. Maybe lightning struck twice with Rod Stewart?
No, no. You got the story confused. When he crashed his Lambo, he said it wasn't his fault, he got hit by lightening.
There was just a recent story in the press locally that he was just arrested in Florida for trying to crash a private party with "his son". His name wasn't on the guest list so he got into it with security and was arrested as a result.
I'll go with your story Randy. "Roadies" always have a "fly on the wall unknown view" of happenings.
I personally take that with a grain of salt though. One that I know of here, was arrested and convicted, at the felony level, of defrauding seven women.
Amongst other things, he told one that he was a US Navy Admiral, was personal advisor to Mrs. Sikorsky and owned a house in Greenwhich which he tore down because it was lined with asbestos. He would drive them past this empty lot and show them where the house used to be. Oh..."he was a Navy fighter pilot and he crash landed it on the beach".
The last time I saw him, he was out on parole and had just gotten into a fist fight with a "sanitation worker" (garbage man) at the local 'deli'. I don't know if the parole was revoked but as it turns out he was a "roady" and had knowledge of certain celebrities because he had been a "burglar alarm installer" for a few years.
He would start up with me and I'd just say, "yes sir Admiral". Then he'd go to his room and sulk saying something like..."didn't you ever lie to a woman"? I'd think to myself, "hum, I don't think so, but certainly I was never convicted of it"?
Yup. "Roadies" are "colorful" all right. Very "colorful".
