Star Treatment

After the show, renowned “Head of Collections” for the Hard Rock Café, Don Bernstein, treated the band and crew to a top-notch Korean B-B-Q dinner behind the Tokyo Hard Rock in Roppongi. Don even comped us the T-shirts we picked out from the Hard Rock. Teddy, the proprietor, served us a variety of grade A meats, including beef tongue. Being accustom to “road food” (Mickey D’s, etc.) none of the guys would try it until I insisted. In the end, they all agreed that the tongue was the best tasting of all the meats. Thanks Teddy and Don.

After dinner, we all posed with Don for some pix in front of the Hard Rock. Unfortunately, my camera was back at the hotel, so Don will send me a copy later. Luckily, Eriko (who had dinner with us) snapped a copy of me on the streets of Roppongi. Steve, Static and I walked around the area and popped into a magazine store. I had to purchase a Japanese “Rolling Stone” magazine because the front cover is on the back (due to the Japanese reading right to left, instead of left to right.)
