Re: New comment on [ItsAllAboutMeMan] The Day I met Engelbert Humperd....

Well, I'm talking about the crazy, homeless guy that thinks he's Gene Simmons... just like the crazy homeless guy who thinks he's Englebert. And the guy who passed himself off as Peter Criss, remember that one?

I got another mail from a member of the brain trust.. You'd think it was obvious from context that i knew this guy was not "Humpy."

these guys must have google alerts set for the hump (like I do for the movie Ishtar) so they can go out and correct what they believe are misconceptions about the Hummer.

I too have had the pleasure of meeting Engelbert Humperdinck he is an absolute gentleman.

Engelbert has sold over 150 million records and sold out every major concert venue in every corner of the globe he certainly has NOTHING to prove.

As far as younger acts, Engelbert not only encourages youngsters but also writes and manages for a select few up and coming acts.

Perhaps the ignorant liar who originally posted this dribble got his demo knocked back????

Engelbert s a superstar and super person forever giving to various charities around the globe.

Viva La Humpy!!

Knowing you as I do - I most certainly believe that what you're saying is true. It's not as though you were offering an opinion of what "might" happen if Englebert cornered you. It happened. The fan needs to get over it.

Now - as for the lumping-in with Gene Simmons - inferring Gene is washed-up - I do take umbrage with that. That is an opinion my friend - and not a particularly informed one. Gene's popularity is still quite high both with KISS (world tour selling out in every venue) but also with his own reality TV show and busy media/movie/producer schedule. Surprising? Perhaps, but true. Not a comeback either. He's maintained a viable presence since the beginning. You won't find KISS ever playing fairs and gin joints. If it doesn't have 30,000 seats or more - it ain't happening.

Long live Gene! (and may he and I come to repentance).

I posted the following 100% true story on my blog:

I took the bus to the stadium station, where I was going to ride the
LRT downtown to CKUA. He was sitting on a bench by himself. I didn't
know he was a celebrity until he introduced himself. To nobody in
particular.

"Engelbert Humperdinck. Live, in person, Engelbert Humperdinck."

He didn't really look like Engelbert Humperdinck, but heck, time does
that, I don't look like myself much anymore either.

"Do you want my autograph?" He demanded. "DO YOU WANT MY FUCKING AUTOGRAPH?"

I kind of avoided him, but still he fixed his gaze on me as I slid
past, trying to not make eye contact. He thrust his hand out at me,
stiff as a meat cleaver.

"Friend?!?" He said wildly. "Friend?!?"

I had heard that he had a heart-shaped swimming pool, but that didn't
interest me much in the sub-zero Edmonton winter. I felt kind of bad,
because I know how it is with famous people like Engelbert Humperdinck
and Gene Simmons, they can't accept it when the spotlight moves on
from them onto younger talent like Britney Spears and the Jonas
Brothers, but I wasn't really into his music that much, and I didn't
want to have to explain that to him, it might hurt his feelings. Soon
enough (like in about a microsecond) he turned his attention to
another potential fan: "Friend?!? Friend?!?"

You meet the most interesting people when you ride the LRT.

and some coward called me a liar:

There is no way that Engelbert would act that way! He is the kindest and most soft spoken person I know. Where do you get off with "Do You Want My Fucking Autograph???"....absurd, Engelbert would never have said that!

Slander is everywhere!
