Dominic Behan (Brendan's brother) in the Director's Box in Hope Street in 75. He had a BBC Scotland or STV show in the early 70s (Dominic Sings). He lived in Albert Drive. Bob Dylan's 'With God on Our Side' is a lyrical rip-off of Behan's 'The Patriot Game'.

Colin Montgomerie in HMV in Argyle St a couple of weeks ago.

A few years ago on a Saturday afternoon I was passing the A1 Comics shop in Parnie Street. There was a black limo outside the shop with huge bouncers standing at the door and a crowd had gathered and when I asked around I was told it was Eminem in the shop. When he eventually came out he ran from the door straight into the limo bent doubled so no one could see him and he got booed

I barely know what a famous person looks like but I need meet and say hello to Mince Fratelli of The Fratellis today on Bath Street. I've seen the band 12 times so it makes sense.

Saw Billy Connolly 4 times in 70's /80's in Byres Road and Windsor - he was wearing a cloak the first couple of times. I asked him if I could take a photie - he declined the offer

Best one yet tho was my daughter was working in a shop in Broomhill Cross bored out her mind staring out the window (no doubt long queue of people) when who walks by but Morgan Freeman and Bob Hoskins - filming in Glasgow. She got the names wrong at first said it was Samuel L Jackson and Danny De Vito - other well known double act.

Got a thanks from John Byrne in Queen Street today. Now he is Gallus
