Have you ever met anyone famous?

Ok, sorry if this has been posted before....

Have you ever met anyone famous? I mean, have you spoken to a famous person for more than a few seconds? If so, who? How were they?

I must admit, the only famous person I have actually met was Boy George, at a book signing.

I almost met Phyllis Diller once, but my sister was driving and she wouldnt wait around.

He went to Allegheny College the same time I did. He was in a band with three of my fraternity brothers, and they would play at our house. Here's the tidbit that Trent would never want known - he received "a bid" to join our fraternity in 1984. How very uncool! But he dodged that bullet. I dimly recall going to his apartment to sound him out about joining and being politely turned down.
At the time, they were performing cover songs and I recall being very impressed by his singing. He dressed more darkly than the preppies he was surrounded by and was somewhat of a loner, but really not all that odd. I think he grew up not too far south of Allegheny in Grove City (aka nowhere Pennsylvnia).; ▶ Reply to This

I did hang out with Tim Skold (who was shocked that I knew who Shotgun Messiah was) and En Esch which was very interesting to say the least. He is one tall, skinny, bald German dude. I was friends of a friend at the time with Tom "Servo" DeSalvo (Haloblack, 16 Volt, Chemlab or as I like to say Industrial Hired Gun Drummer) he had done a remix for my first band and knew the guys in my band pretty well.; ▶ Reply to This

He laughed, I laughed and then I looked him in the eye and said "no, really someone took a million dollar risk on you to do Hellraiser how about you take a million dollar risk on me?" His jaw fell to the floor and he told me to find somebody younger!; ▶ Reply to This
