Has anyone ever sent him an email asking for advice?

[WestwayKid]

I'm thinking of sending him one. I want to record an album and I'm curious to know if I should use German or Czech engineers to program my drum machines. I want to go for a real big sound.

Yes. I think Maj visited his Summer Correction Camp for unruly street kids.

Hoy emailed him a few years ago (to see whether he'd sit in here?) and was asked what line of work he's in. I don't believe it went any further.

I imagine any "fan" conversation with Bernie to basically be the grocery store copypasta.

I saw Bernie at a grocery store in Los Angeles yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything.
He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?”
I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying.
The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.
When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.

Holy crap, the douchery there is almost off the charts (checking … yup, on the charts, but at the far right side of the page). McLaren may have been an asshole, Bernie, but at least he's not a footnote or a punchline.

Does anyone know who this was originally about? Or is it just a fake story?

It's copypasta - just something you grab off the 'net and then insert your fave celebrity. Crazy how well this one seems to work for Bernie, however! I truly think any interaction with Bernie would be super weird and uncomfortable.

Jesus, that reminds me of porn sites in the mid 90s.
