I don't know if you could count him as a celebrity(not that he'd care anyway) but i'm on sporadic contact with Billy Name who painted Andy Wahrol's first factory silver.All i'm saying is that he's a sweetie.I was also in touch with Simon Reynolds while he was writing 'Rip it up and start again:Post punk 1978-1984' mainly because a section of it is dedicated to Scritti Politti's 'Skank Bloc Bologna' and i happened to militate in an italian communist party as a kid.

Simon Reynolds is incredibly approachable as a journalist.No snobbery or posing there at all.That guy knows so much about music it's scary.

I've sent a few emails to Lazlow Jones. He replies every time. He said I am 'mad spazzy' once though. :[

I totally forgot that I interviewed Roberta Bayley last month. She photographed what became the cover of the Ramones' first album, and Hell's Blank Generation, and plenty of other stuff as well. She said she had a new Blondie book coming out with her photographs in it. Also, some of you may have read Please Kill Me--that's one of her photos on the cover as well. She was beyond helpful and gave me very long and detailed answers.

I have written to loads of small indie bands. Not since the internet took over though. It was the only way to keep in touch with new releases back in the day. Some bands are really nice and send you proper letters (depends on the size of the band, I suppose).
I think that's one thing the internet stopped - you used to be able to get signed things and little odds and sods a lot easier before there was this fear of ebay selling. I don't know if bands would be so happy to sign sleeves and things you send them now.

Well, if emails count:
I emailed Glenn Branca twice, got a response both times. One was about making the Branca forum, the other was for a notation advice for writing notation for a certain tuning. (E2-E2-E2-E3-E3-E3) |

I used to write to old/current baseball players all the time when I was a little kid. I don't think I ever got any responses back.
