I had 14. But that was counting the one about being on the Atlantic and Pacific coasts. I've been on both coasts of England.
When I was a teenager I met lots of people in bands who were famous later. Most of them were drunk and obnoxious.

I figured you had, especially if you lived then were you live now. I hope you'll be willing to share some stories (not necessarily about the famous, but about the times) if I see you when I go to London next time.
