Rob's line about Ray D. being "like a smooth politician, in a good way," is just how I would characterize my meeting Paul McCartney. Firm handshake, eye contact, genuine-seeming smile. I was with visiting a friend at Jim Henson Studios, which used to be A&M Records HQ and was still frequented by music people who liked the studio facilities. Paul was there for the RUN DEVIL RUN sessions, just hanging out at an outdoor table with other blokes (none of whom I recognized.) My friend introduced me, and that was it. Nothing extraordinary about the encounter, but of course I never miss the opportunity to mention it, and this thread seemed like a good excuse to hawk it again.
