Hah! Since you could only know that by reading Ghost Rider, he might be nice to you. I did run across him once in a parking lot. On the Roll the Bones tour, I went to see them in Cologne, Germany. Mid. afternoon, about five other fans and I were standing behind the loading area, watching the roadies load in all the stuff. There was zero security there. A few of the kids were taking photos of each other in front of the RUSH road cases. Anyway, this MB wagon pulled up right next to us and and out climbed the Professor himself and his driver. Neil is about 6'6". He's huge! His driver, whom I struck up a conversation with two weeks later in Stuttgart, is, I believe, identified in Roadshow as Peter Brockbank, one of Neil's buddies from his early days in England. Anyway, Neil was wearing a baseball hat and carrying a duffle bag. Some of the kids yelled his name and he didn't even glance at them. He had a slight smirk on his face and just kept waling straight into the Sporthalle. I was lucky enough to sneak in the empty arena and watch a little bit of the soundcheck before they tossed me. And since I was there so early and the show was gen. admission, I got front row. Haffta dig those photos up somewhere.
