Message: [QUOTE="Jeff Gilbert, post: 367394, member: 20280"] I can relate to what some of the more "popular" experience. Though I am what most of you serious racers would consider a joke on the track and I'll probably never be asked for an autograph there for my riding abilities I have been bombarded when doing gigs and I imagine it's pretty much the same. It's very flattering when someone wants your autograph but after the umpteenth dozen time it does get to be a hastle if you have other things you need to be doing. I remember many times over the years when some enthusiastic fan would be standing there with pen & paper in hand while I was performing or switching guitars wanting my autograph. When told that I would be glad to do so but at the moment my hands were full most would understand and comply but then there were those that won't take the hint. Try to put yourself in thier position, it only takes a minute to sign an autograph but usually people want more than just that, they want to rub elbows and feel like they've actually met you and that can take a few more minutes. If you multiply that times a couple dozen then you've spent close to an hour. Then there are the ones that get the autograph but don't leave. Don't get me wrong, I loved signing autographs but it helps when there is an autograph session specifically for that purpose. RC, MC and the rest are people too and if anyone has ever been in a hi-profile position like they then everyone would understand. [I]Now I feel like a dork![/I] [/QUOTE]
