gavin rossdale: good samaritan
On April 25, 2004, I was leaving the parking lot of the Starbuck’s at Highland and Franklin when I got into a car accident.
I was having some difficulty getting through to 911, when what to my wondering eyes should appear like a mirage? Why, it was Gavin Rossdale, of the band Bush! I’m not sure if Bush is even a band anymore, but Mr. Rossdale was the perfect good samaritan.
He called 911 (I’m convinced celebrities get their own special emergency number–like a VIP 911 or bat phone) and waited nearly 20 minutes with us until the paramedics arrived. One of the girls in the other car had a cut on her leg and the airbag had chafed her face pretty badly, so they took her to Cedars for a look-see.
Through yet another coincidence, I ended up at Gwen & Gavin’s for New Year’s that year and got to thank him for being such a great guy. As for Gwen, well it was fairly obvious that she had “it” even when she was playing at Spanky’s in Riverside as a teenager. Guys worshipped her even then. And don’t get me started on Kingston. Too effing cute is what I say.
