Gallagher and TenaciousDennis

I have a knack for meeting celebrities, even though I have never been to Hollywood or New York. I interviewed George Carlin the year before and Crystal Gayle earlier that year, I was asked to see if I could get an interview with Gallagher, who was performing at the Paramount Arts Center (I think they invited him because they were about to do a major remodel). His performance was packed. I honestly had never seen so many people in the Paramount. Plus there was a six foot plus tall guy walking around after the show covered in Gallagher's goo stinking and dripping everywhere.

While I have seen many of his video performances and enjoy his comedy, he wasn't exactly a comedy hero of mine, but I went along anyway. Once again, I did not operate the camera, but I did insist on a tripod and mics so at least it is a steady shot and you can hear him clearly. The video he gave em was a copy of his 1994 show "We Need a Hero." I don't think any of his shows are available on DVD, but if they are, I think that is his best.

All in all he seemed like a nice guy, but after we packed up our gear and went out to our cars, we heard him screaming at his crew and throwing things around in the back of his moving van. The next morning, I ran into a DJ friend of mine and he told me he was doing a remote at a restaurant and Gallagher came in and was raising hell with the waiter because he didn't like the taste of the coffee that was served to him.
