Oh, to have been a fly on the wall: "When Shane # and the Popes were playing The House Of Blues, I took Shane down to the bar…to see if Little Richard was there. And when we walked in and heard his Wop-bop-a-loo-bop voice above the crowd, we went right over to where that sound was coming from, and I got to introduce the Irish songwriting legend to the inventor of rock n roll. Shane professed just how much Richard’s music and flair influenced him from the beginning of his artistic journey. How he had never heard or seen anything like Richard before. Richard took it all in…the praise was what always fueled him, made him stand even taller, loom larger….made the warm room light shine off of his made-up face just a little more brilliantly." https://boingboing.net/2020/05/11/meeting-little-richard-at-his.html
