Yesterday at JFK, I spotted Dee Snider waiting at the international baggage claim. I shook his hand and told him I enjoyed his interview segments in Metal: A Headbanger's Jouney (a very fun documentary now on DVD) and he said thanks and that's about it (I didn't want to bother him too much). Nice guy.

Just thought I'd share.

Hey, I met him years ago at some music conference. He's also a very well spoken guy on panels, etc.

Man, what terminal were you at? I came in on Delta International around 9:30 last night.

I did a little Internet snooping and, as it turns out, it was the entire Twisted Sister band I saw grabbing instruments off the belt. Apparently, they were coming back from Greece where they were headlining(!) some metal show.

Roy, I would have been long gone by then. I came in on Austrian Air with about 80 other people (students and directors) late in the afternoon. Waited a loooong time for our instruments to come out and then we got the hell out of there. It was a long day.

Dee Snider spottings happen all the time. The man seems to be everywhere. I've had a Dee Snider spotting in Manhattan before.

I saw him at the shops with Dick Trickle and The Undertaker.

i swear i saw dee snider in a slice of toast i made this morning.

This morning, I saw Dinosaur Jr. (including an ancient looking, grey-but-still-long-haired J. Mascis) eating breakfast at our local breakfast hangout.
