He came and played for us at Balad Airbase in Iraq in 2005 as part of a USO concert. The concert was held really close to a building (PX) that had been mortared fairly recently, and a couple of guys/gals died from it. A few of the other performers backed out ( I don’t blame them). But he said fuck it. Respect.
Same timeframe I met Vince Vaughn at a USO meet and greet, got him to actually sign a bootleg DVD of Wedding Crashers that I got from the Bazaar there. He said “really?!?” Lol. Still signed it. Looked hung over as fuck. He’s also a giant.
