Who'd have ever thought how Life works in mysterous ways... I was sitting at a coffee shop with a friend of mine on tuesday night, April 17th, She and I had just had dinner and went to this coffee shop for a cup o' joe... I caught a glimpse of this guy sitting down to read a book... I said to myself... "that looks like Rob Halford...NAW....couldn't be...."... I couldn't stop looking and wondering...Finally my friend asked me if I was going to ask him or not, and so I went over to him and said: " excuse me, is your name Rob?" he said: "yes..." I said:"Rob Halford...?" "yes..." "Rob Halford from ...Judas Priest...????? "Yes....." I about shit my pants... Rob Halford was my teenage heavy metal hero... So we sat there for a few minutes, me trying to focus on what he was saying, we talked about tattoos, because I said I didn't remember him ever having any, and now he's covered. We talked about different artists and he knew a few that I knew, and we talked about Old Judas, and his new band, Fight... and then I said I was going to go and let him read his book. He asked if I would like his card and I said "sure!!!" He signed his card, and
gave it to me, and slipped away, quietly in the night, as I rocked
and reelled, revelling in my moment of "once in a lifetime"
chance situation.

Back...it says: hahaha....keep the faith...shit...Hell yea I keep the Faith, I have Judas Priest tapes that are over a decade old and I still listen to them. I also told Rob how I first learned of Judas Priest, when laying my head down in American Government Class, at mission bay high school back in '80-'81. I was putting my head down to sleep in class, when I saw a checkerboard flying "V" guitar, drawn on the desk, and the words "Judas Priest" written underneath it. It was the "Call
for The Priest"... Rocka Rolla, Sad Wings
of Destiny, Sin after Sin, Stained Class, Hell Bent for Leather
(Killing Machine) There are of course albums after these, but these are my personal favorites. Below are some pictures I am "borrowing", all credit due. Thanks Rob... You can see more of this man at: His old band(with new singer) can be found here:
