For 5 years in mid 90's a friend of mine who owns a security business, contracted out for different venues throughout. I dealt with entertainers and stage mgr's during that time. Most in the business were very professional. Others were just straight DH's. Watching CMA Fest....brought back memories. Stage mgr's would ask to bring 10-20 gorgeous girls up to barricades stage front. I'd tell my guys to go grab the kids from the cheap seats in very back nose bleed sections and bring them up front. Also used to take cameras from same area and take all pics they could "front stage" and give them back....not all security that work these places are *****s. Especially if many are hired p/t that are on active duty near military installation. Nicest person I ever met?? Tough answer but Vince Giil ranks up there. Hardest worker Aretha....she got behind curtain off stage and dropped. Her entourage was there in force. Figure skater Aksana Baiul was another that gave her all. Joe & Jane public see them in the limelight but afterwards those 45-90 min shows takes a toll on them.
Shows over, lights are up, get the package to their vehicle. Ok gang lets go home....until next time.
