Back in 1996, in Toronto, I sat right next to Antonio Bandares. I was reading a magazine and hadn't noticed he was sitting next to me the whole time. Until the gym managers came out and said "Mr. Banderes, you can come with us now." I died! I could have had a nice chat with him...SIGH0

Neil Young, SF Airport, lost luggage line. he turned and complained to me that the airline had lost his luggage.
Daryl Hanna and Jackson Brown, at the grocery store whey I worked, they bought skim milk.
Jimmy Carter, at a book convention, he asked me if I had voted for him (no I was 10 at the time)
Bo Derek, again the grocery store, came though my line, but I did not recognize her because I thought she was tall (she is only 5'3" ish)0 -
I've met P.O.D. and Nickleback. And the singer from Train/Driver Dan. Can't remember his name right now. Met him in an elevator.0

I didn't even think about rap artists...I've met Little Brother (Phonte & Big Pooh), Darien Brockington (R&B singer), Slug from Atmosphere, P.O.S, and I believe I remember meeting Evidence from Dilated Peoples at a show but I can't remember for sure.0 -

Ridiculously jealous. One of the G.O.A.T.0 -
Too many to mention, but some that come to mind:
Robert Plant, Rainbow Bar & Grill in Hollywood
King Diamond, in some club, and he was scary. I was backstage, and he just sat down in a chair and stared at me for a while. It was weird. Just me and him in a room. I just stared back. No words. LOL.
Met and partied with all the guys from Exodus.
I played with Guns and Roses back in my Hey Day. Good times! At the Troubador in LA.
Played, partied, and jammed with Kings X.
New all the guys from a rock band called Keel from the 80's.
Saw Cameron Diaz and her boyfriend at the time, uh, the big star dude, forget his name, at the pumpkin patch in Long Beach, CA.
A few of my bands mates are kind of well-known in deep underground music circles. LOL. But, pretty obscure, but they make their living from music.
Met Kareem Abdul Jabaar twice, once on a flight to Jamaica, and another time at the 555 Restaurant in Long Beach, CA
Ran into Billy Joe from Green Day at the Sacramento Airport.
Had dinner and a long conversation in LA with one of the winners of Top Chef. Forget her name now. But, she just won, and was hanging out in her new restaurant and sat down and chatted for about an hour. Super nice. Not really a star, but sort of.
Met Kelsey Grammer at a Shakespear show in LA. Nice guy.
I know there's others, I just can't think about it all.0 -
Mariah Carey - Patient at a dental office I used to work at
So jealous! Mariah is my idol!0 -

Not mine. She was high as a kite, and kept asking me to turn up the nitrous. But, she was in the chair for a long time and at least 3 of her songs came on during her appointment.

You have a nice list there. I have quite a few too. Being that I work in Pro Audio... Talk to many managers of the bands. Then sometimes I meet them before-during-after the shows. I was hoping to meet and greet Billy Idol last year. Didn't happen. :sad:0 -
alan alda was friendly...
i met a bunch of soap opera stars that i had no idea who they were but the older women i worked with couldn't believe they were in our store...
billy joel was super nice, signed an autograph for my then girlfriend, now wife...
