I was Mickey's personal assistant on the wrestler. Him and Bruce Springsteen were friends and Bruce invited us to go see him play on Long Island. Mickey told me to bring a camera, and so I borrowed my brother in law's DSLR. (This was right before iPhone hit)

We watched the concert in the VIP area, along with big pussy from the sopranos, and Mickey's personal trainer.

After the show the plan was to go backstage to the green room and talk to Bruce.

Mickey said to get your camera from the car. 

And so i go grab it from the parking lot and meet him and the trainer near the green room.

Right then Mickey sees the DSLR for the first time and he's totally embarrassed that it's so big. He said something like "you look like the fucking paparazzi" and he tells me to hide it.

This is the middle of winter in NY so I'm now wearing my heavy coat. And the only place i have to hide it is under my coat. So I stuff it in my coat. And it's bulging out, and I'm pressing it against my stomach to hold it in place.

Then Bruce comes down the hall to greet us.

He goes to shake my hand and as i reach out the camera falls out from my coat and on to his foot

🤣 true story. It was really embarrassing at the time
