It was in the Delta lounge in Atlanta. He and his backup singers were traveling to Chicago for an appearance on local TV.
He was a crazy sucker. First, he was speaking in a British accent. He was born & raised in Florida.
Then, the accent went away & he was just an odd duck, flitting from topic to topic, most of which he had no knowledge.
His backup singers told us to excuse & ignore him because he's always like that.
They were as nice as could be, but he was just weird.
