    Working for MGM in the 70's, I met too many to mention. The only ones that stand out were the holier than thou ones. The majority were good people though.

    I've had lunch with Harry Connick Jr., was in a jam session with Maynard Ferguson, and I don't know if this counts or not, but I have a cousin who has starred in PSA videos for Lifeway, and has starred in 2 or 3 music videos for rising country artists.

    How did you get out of that sticky situation?
  9. Besides me no, there's no other famous people more important than me so who gives a **** about them. :)
  10. I grew up on Long Island, New York in a village named Northport. Harry Chapin was friends with our next-door neighbor, and one night while I was playing at their house he came to dinner when I was about 12 years old. I also went to school with Billy Joel's then stepson, Sean Small and my sister had the same babysitter that Billy Joel and Christie Brinkley used, whose name was Dawn.

    I've met in no particular order: Robert F. Kennedy, Sandy Baron, **** Clark, Harvey Keitel, Ed McMahon, Spike Lee, George Benson, Peter Brown, Sharon Stone, Al Sharpton, Cissy Houston, Susan Sarandon, Elliot Gould, **** Gregory, Ollie Woodson, Mark Gastineau, Ed Kranepool, Don Clendenon, Bobby Murcer, Lew Alcinder, Gilbert Gottfried, and David Patterson. I'm sure there's more but that's all I can think of right now. Some I've held good conversations with while others I just shook their hand, smiled and made nice!

    I met Gonzo from the Arizona Diamond backs world series champion team when I worked at burger king in the drive through. He only had 100$% bills and drove a hummer. I did not recognize him and told him we don't take 100's so he left and never mentioned who he was. When he was driving away I was like oh **** thats gonzo! The people behind him ran to his car and got a auto graph.
  18. I met Nelson Mandela back in the 90s in Atlanta and comedian George Burns on a flight to hawaii
  19. I've met quite a few assassins, exterminators, cleaners and hitmen, not to mention their support teams(recon squads, assault teams, etc.) They prefer to remain anonymous and invincible, so if you drag them out from the cold... you get a broken wrist for starters...
  20. I met someone famous every day I wake up and look in the mirror ..
    :D
