Kevin's Celeb Pics

I finally got to meet one of pop music's most gifted singer/songwriters this afternoon in St. Louis, Missouri.

Jackson Browne, a member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, stopped to take this photograph and chat about autographs as he departed the Westin Hotel at 3:30 p.m. for his concert tonight at the Fox Theater. Browne was more than happy to pose for the camera, however, he said he just doesn't sign autographs anymore. He said too much ends up on Ebay and in other places. Jackson told a story about a recent visit to New York for promotion work on his new compact disk. He was met by the same collectors in all four places he stopped one morning. He was polite and understanding in his discussion with some other autograph collectors today, but stuck to his guns when it came to not signing. I was just tickled that he stopped to take a photo and chat. I actually think he would have chatted longer if not for having to talk about autographs.

Earlier in the day, comedian Steven Wright stopped to take a picture with me as he departed Lambert St. Louis International Airport. I almost didn't recognize Steven with his beard, bushy hair, and Emerson College cap.
