I first met Robbie Robertson at a private memorial service for the singer/songwriter David Blue not long after I moved from NYC to LA in 1982. Whenever I ran into him after that at Hollywood parties or any gathering we would usually end up in a corner talking. He was always nice, even sweet with me.
I think because I wasn't a celebrity myself, or anyone with any power to open doors or even any competition, movie and music stars used me at these gatherings for relief from the pressure to be on or to impress or to charm etc. and so we could just have an honest conversation with nothing at stake.
Anyway I liked him, I'm sorry he's gone. Condolences to his family, friends, and fans.
