Cool story. I've got one.

Maybe about 17 years ago I was living in St. Paul, MN. There was this very old, famous funky little club off the beaten path that would sometimes have great old time blues players. We went to see John Lee Hooker and the place was packed. I went to stand against a back wall to cool off for a bit and someone came through the entry and walked around the back, right past me, and then walked right into the club office. He was wearing a hoodie covering most of his face but when he walked by I felt this incredible aura/energy about him and then I realized: That was Prince! I'll never forget that.
