    Waylon Jennings
    Willy Nelson
    Michael Gross
    Maureen McCormick

    Then there are the ones that I converse privately with online but we haven't had the pleasure of meeting in person yet. Mostly authors and tv/movie celebs.

    I know there is more but in my work I've meet quite a few so they don't always stand out with me. It's funny since I don't keep up with pop culture as much as I should I don't always realize just how famous some of these people are.

    Then there are a ton of local celebs in my circle and some consider me one which I find funny.

    Muhammad Ali was a big one for me. Then a bunch of musicians from my Ardent Studios days in Memphis: Robert Cray (*love*), Jimmie Vaughan, Tonya Tucker, Gin Blossoms, ZZ Top, and I still love the guys in Skillet. Best job I ever had. :)

    I met several. Mostly musicians.
    1. Zakk Wylde- by far my favorite- we were at a guitar show and waiting outside for our ride cuz none of us were old enough to have licenses and he was in his van and stopped and had a 20 minute conversation with me and my friends
    2 Ian Scott ( Anthrax)
    The Singer for Slash's snake pit- can remember his name but he handed me his back stage pass at a show so i went to the back and thanked him
    The guitarist for Danzig- i ended up cussin him a new one- he was a jerk to all of us and we were just 16- 17 year old kids so i let him have it
    I accidently stubbled on the tour bus for godsmack- i think i told the singer off cus i wasnt even trying to meet them
    the guys from match boix 20 before they made it big and the guys from staind are really neat guys too.
    i met plenty more but ive done a lot of drinking and other things so my memory isnt so good

    I met Mario Lopez at a club (The Drink) in Vegas more than 10 years ago. He wanted to beat up a guy who spilled a drink on his sister. Mr. Belding was there too with two girls who looked like hookers. I smoked with another guy who was haning out with them and he introduced me.
    I saw Angelina Jolie at a restaurant in Washington DC.
