But I'm Slash...

So every now and then I come across some rock legends living in Living In Los Angeles whether its at my corner store, work or even at my local watering hole..

A few years ago I was working for The Late Late Show Craig Kilborn as an audience coordinator. I decided who got in, who sat where and it was my job to put the hot girls in “babe” row!

This random Wednesday evening we had a special guest from the band ’GUNS N ROSES” the iconic guitarist “SLASH”. I was done filling the audience and headed to the green room to grab my VIP guests. In the hall there he is..”SLASH” Top Hat and all!

Now I see he is smoking a Marlboro Red and drinking Budweiser from a can outside his dressing room. A Security guard is notified about his smoking and  he tells Slash, “you can’t smoke in the CBS building”.

Now with probably the coolest response I’ve ever heard in my life, Slash just takes a slow drag from his butt and says, “but I’m Slash”.

I almost lost it. The security guard just kinda shrugged and said, “OK”, and then walked away. I wish upon a star that some day I’ll be doing something illegal and I can just turn my head and say, “but I’m Flats”.
