There is a person walking this earth right now named Bradford Cox. He is 6’4’’ and looks like this shirtless. He’s in a band called Deerhunter. He also releases solo music under the moniker Atlas Sound. Both entities are really, really good.
I ran into him at the Lennox Mall in Atlanta once. As I exited a store, he breezed by, a phone to his ear and a bag over his shoulder. I stopped dead in my tracks, turned to my boo, and whisper screamed “That’s that dude from Atlas Sound and Deerhunter!”. Then we both shouted “Braaaaaaadfoooooooorrrrrrrddddddddd”, and he heard us. He stopped, turned back, smiled, and said, “This never happened, you are way too shy of a human to talk to ANY stranger, much less someone you perceive as a celebrity. And you, YOU?!, shouted across a mall full of people that judge people that shout across malls? Pahlease”. To which I replied, “You’re right. But I did see you at the mall. I didn’t say anything. But I did see you though.” And he said “Yup. Cool.”
