  1. Nathan Thompson He was at Larabee studios in LA, recording his dangerous album. I was there all the time because my husband was a sound tech. He was very shy, but I had made friend with his chefs, two girls who cooked for him there. I would sit and eat and talk to them and he would come and go and say hi. It was just regular stuff, nothing exciting, just how are you, etc. He liked my husband, because he is a quiet guy, so I think he felt comfortable with him. They would just mumble to each other. You have to understand that he had NO life. His world was people treating him like a zoo animal. He was constantly stared at and asked for things. He seemed to want a normal life, but at the same time he had been a star for so long he had no clue how to be normal. It was very sad. This was in 91 or 93, I think. I always felt sorry for him. We could be laughing and gossiping and he would come in and everyone would stop. I think it must have been so horrible. I'm not in any way defending his choices, or anything. It was my impression of that time he was there.

  2. Tia Thompson I met Michael Jackson and Prince. They were nice, but you don't get to know them unless you're friends, you just see them and talk about average stuff...
