    Hank Williams JR and Kid Rock

    All through high school I worked at a butcher shop/ BBQ place in Paris, TN and Hank has a house at KY lake near there. He comes in there on a regular basis to buy things. He brought Kid Rock with him one time and I made them BBQ sandwiches! LOL

    Took a plane from Atlanta with the drummer from Blink 182, Travis Barker and his "midget". This was a week or so before he was in that terrible plane crash a couple years ago.

    Also ate dinner at the table next to Kate Voegele, singer and actor on One Tree Hill before one of her concerts that I attended in Orlando. My husband made a comment about a girl so i turned around to see who he was talking about and said dude! thats the girl we're going to see in concert! haha

    I've met a few here and there... but what I want to share is something a little more historical. My mother grew up being best friends with James Dean's cousin, so she met him quite a few times before he was famous. "Interesting" family. My grandparents knew relatives of the Lincolns... looked just like the guy... another interesting family.

    I used to work at the Four Seasons Hotel in Toronto. During the couple of years I worked there I met Jack Lemon, Richard Harris, Margot Kidder, John Vernon, John Colicos, John Belushi, Elton John, Ian Anderson, Barrymore Barlow (drummer for Jethro Tull), Burton Cummings, and all of the Rolling Stones. There may have been a few others. It was a pretty cool place to work.

    I touched Pauley Shore once at a show haha...that was 20 years ago

    I could have talked to Wayne Newton on the phone when he was at the hotel I work at but chickened out and had my coworker call him to see if his tv had been fixed.

    the biggggest, and I mean biggesttt asphole in the world.........Tommy Lee Jones, he lives here in San Antonio, and hes a pig.sorry, he once was on a SouthWest plane taking a flight, and wanted peanuts

    so he rings for some, the stewardess hands em to him, and he says "Oh no, I dont open things like this......I have it done for me"

    She had to open his bag of peanuts for the big cry baby.......hes a class less jerk.......

    I would not be a good flight attendant. I would have said, "Sucks for ya. If you can't figure it out before we land, maybe the guy next to you will do it for you if you ask real nice."

    UGH flight attendants don't get enough credit for what they do! I've never witnesses someone like this, but I would just lose it on people like that!

    Alan Hull (RIP) from the UK band Lindisfarne.
    Patrick Stewart on a flight back to the UK from NY. Nice guy.
    Willem Defoe in NY, bumped into him in the street & got a huge grin.:heart:
    Claudia Christen (from Babylon 5) rang me up & I met her a few weeks later. Lovely lady, really down to earth.*
    Huey Morgan (Fun Lovin Criminals) rang me up from Glastonbury festival where they had headlined the Jazz World stage.:heart::heart: A total gentleman.*
    The titchy one from Take That shopping in Tescos.
    Liza Minelli walked right into me in London. Tiny & rude.
    All of Fairport Convention, usually at the bar at Cropredy festival. My husband got an autograph forced on him by one rather drunk band member!:laugh:
    Robert Plant, at the bar at Cropredy festie. Nice bloke, he's happy to chat to fans just so long as they're not too pushy.
    Neil Gaiman at more than a few book signings. :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart: What can I say, a total sweetheart.


    Plus quite a few soap actors live in & around my town so I have met them, but as I don't watch soaps I never can recogise them.:laugh:


    * Both thanks to my Darling Hubbie. He met Claudia at the Essen Spiel, where she & a couple of other cast members were doing publicity for the CCG. She was on the next stand & they got chatting, he mentioned that her character was my fav & she offered to ring me!
    And I had to miss Glastonbury due to work so my DH managed to catch Huey after their set & asked him to ring me, and he did! Made my year.
