Fake Foreigner drummer allegedly steals Corvette

Postby newberry on Wed Feb 11, 2009 8:04 pm

CLEARWATER, Fla. — Authorities said a transient man convinced a woman that he was the drummer for the rock band Foreigner, stole her Corvette and then crashed it. Police said a 48-year-old man befriended the woman at a Tampa hotel, claiming to be Cory James, the drummer for Foreigner.

The band has had more than a half dozen drummers over the years, none of whom were named Cory James.


If only she had been more knowledgeable about the personnel history of Foreigner...

Meanwhile, the real drummers for Foreigner are wondering how the hell this guy 'befriended a woman' with the line, "I'm the drummer for Foreigner".

More threads like this, please.

Tangentially, there used to be a junkie who hung around the main drag here a few years ago. He'd refined a breathless patter from years of grafting: "Hi, my name's Mick, I'm the drummer for Fast Lane. I fell asleep in the studio, I just need 10 bucks..."

There wasn't even a band around here called Fast Lane. Well, not that I'd heard of, though I'd guess every city has at least one pub-crawling Santana cover band called Fast Lane. Guy wasn't in any band though. The one day he comes up to me, must have been really sick because he didn't give me the runaround, just asked for 5 bucks.

I hand over the money, grinning like an uncle in a whorehouse, and I tell him: "By the way, my name's Mick, I'm the drummer for a band called Fast Lane. We're playing a show tonight at Mercury, you should check it out."

Damn, did you ever pw!n that broken-down junkie guy. How rad of you.

I bet the rush you got from that was totally similar to when he gets his fix.

If it had been the REAL drummer from Foreigner he wouldn't have lost control of the car.
I play keys in The Hype and I have no idea what I'm doing in Walking Shadow.
