Which famous people have you met?

Wouldn't like to meet you in a dark alley.

Doesn't count, you're over-qualified. I was asking mere mortals.

Exactly...I remember you mentioning Nashville...after a while it's like, Oh look another famous person, on to important stuff, anybody got beer money?

I wasn't going to respond, but I have to admit, it brought back some cool memories.

That's him Kim...looked like he was on a permanent bender. I forgot he was married to Jane Fonda.

Didn't impress me as a very nice fella. Course I did bump into him...should look where he is going...:p

I met and talked a little to Ronald Reagan when he did a campaign stop at the hotel/restaurant I worked at. The exec. chef and I where standing back stage on the side and when he finished his speech he came over and asked the chef to make him a sandwich. We talked for a minute before he got the sandwich.
I also meet Mario Coumo the x gov. and father of our current gov. in NY.
I also went out with a girl in the mid 70's who lived across from Bearsville Studio. We also hung out at the same bars the musicians did so I met just about everybody who recorded there or at lest was in close proximity to them.
But I guess my big claim to fame is getting drunk along side Gregg Allman in a topless bar in Daytona Beach. Only thing is I know I was to drunk to notice him and I'm pretty sure he was to drunk to notice me. Besides did I mention it was a topless bar

I forgot is also met George Clinton at a record store.

I did not now Humpty was George's son.

TL

THE George Clinton????

Man, I wanna trade all the rock ~freaks I met along the years for GC.

Kudos to the man!!!

I met George W. Bush in September of 2006 I think it was at the Grand Island Nebraska airport, close to where I lived. Might've been 2007. He was on his campaign trail and spoke at the event center in Grand Island. My mother greeted him when he got off the plane at the airport, and he presented some volunteer award to her. They talked for a minute and then I saw him waving towards me (standing far away watching), and motioning for me to come over.

Secret Service had a field day, but they guided me over and I got to shake his hand and talk about Habitat for Humanity with him for a couple of minutes. He told us how he helped with the program one day and hammered his thumb within an hour of being there. The three of us took a couple of pictures together and received them from the White House in the mail a few weeks later. We got to be signed up on their mailing list and got holiday greetings from him and Laura while he was in office. We then got invited to an address on the White House lawn a year later. We spent a couple of days in D.C. as well and it was a fantastic experience. The White House lawn was full of interesting people and the Marine Corps lines the walkways and were really nice and took pictures with us. They had cookies and punch just like any event you would go to, I thought it was funny. The napkins were freakin sweet though, with the crest on them and everything.

I think that George knows what a difference that small talk to people makes in their lives, and that stretching out kindness for a time after just puts the icing on the cake. I think that he is a great man who like anyone, makes mistakes. He is extremely personable and kindhearted. It is something that I will forever remember, even though I was too young to thoroughly appreciate it at the time. Fantastic overall experience.

I also have met Papa Roach when he came to Grand Island. And Brian Vickers at Daytona, because my uncle counsels a number of NASCAR drivers. And Kevin Blue of Internet Income University. He's filthy wealthy and still devotes constant time and effort to communicating with his members personally. How many millionaires do you have in your cell phone? Join IIU and you can get to know him just like I do.

Does Herby Husker count? Also I swear they had the real Santa at the mall I was at when I was 7. He was legit.

well being in Algarve I have the advantage of seeing lot of celebrities and talk to them on the beach, specially football people love to come here like Figo, Cristiano Ronaldo, Mourinho.

Wow! Some Warriors have met some seriously famous peeps!

I got to meet and hugged Robin Zander (lead singer of Cheap Trick). They opened up for Heart. We did not get to meet the Wilson sisters.

My friend was picking out hair products at her local salon. Next thing she knows Steven Tyler is standing next to her and chimes in on how his wife love this and that product...

I will have to come back and see what other famous people turn up here

Well my claim to fame is that l get mistaken for Sir Anthony Hopkins all the time so l googled him one day and got quite a shock .

It was just like looking at myself in the mirror.

Imagine that meeting up with fame everyday.

Cheers Murray

Don't worry, you'll find someone in soon future.

I once slept with...umm, er, never mind.

I met Soupy Sales at a local Rondo Music store many years ago. What he
was doing at a music store is beyond me, but it was cool meeting him.

While this doesn't count as "meeting" somebody, many years ago when I was
a kid, I went to a restaurant in Hillside, NJ and Phil Rizzuto was eating about
two tables away from us. I hear he comes from Hillside so I guess it wasn't
a stretch seeing him there.

Also, when I went to a Met game once, I saw Lindsey Nelson walking down
one of the runways.

I was personal friends with the guy who discovered Russell and Levin (the
writers for Tony Orlando and Dawn and the Partridge family) but I guess
that doesn't count for much. LOL. His name was Walter Gollander.

I also met the guy who discovered Bon Jovi and was even at his home. His
name was Steve Zuckerman.

So all in all, I haven't really had an eventful life as far as meeting famous
people.

Maybe it's just as well.
