With all due respect, it would take me more than one look to write a guy off like that.
I've got a short list and posted it before. The most famous person I saw was Steve Martin when he was promoting a play in my city. I also talked to Stompin' Tom on the phone, got within punching distance of Stockwell Day, interviewed that Liberal with the weird eyes (John Manley or something), and I've met tons of medium-fame musicians who I'd consider worth meeting. Hung out with the Slackers in two countries and met Champion and Outbreak. Interviewed Dave Wakeling from the Beat and Norwood from Fishbone, as well as more I care less about.
As far as Koreans go, I've run into Crying Nut several times, as well as nearly every other worthwhile Hongdae band, and drank several times with the two guys who got Music Camp shut down a few years ago. I'm hoping to meet Shin Joong-hyun soon who is a family friend of my in-laws. |

I have never met any actors or actresses - or if I did, I probably didn't recognise them!!
I did, however, receive a conducting lesson from Simon Rattle. That was the best day of my life in that year!!!! |

Met and shook Jack Nicholson's hand after the De La Hoya/Mayweather fight at the MGM Grand in Vegas. Very cool guy, obviously! Had an unbelievable beautiful MILF with him.
Bought Liam Gallagher a pint once in a pub in London.
Got Ricky Gervais's autograph.
That's about it. |

Peyton Manning sat across from me in an international economics class in 1996.
In 1985, I was nine years old and my dad noticed Kenny "the Snake" Stabler dining at a restaurant in the Hyatt in Birmingham, Alabama the morning of the Tennessee vs. Alabama football game. Dad chatted him up and Stabler was really cool and even let me put on his Super Bowl ring.
A couple of years ago, I looked down coutry singer Lorrie Morgan's shirt at a Jiffy Lube in Hendersonville, Tennessee as she reached down into her purse. |

| Not my story exactly, but my kid sis was sneaking in the back door of a pub, and Russell Crowe was the guy who held open the door for her. This was about a week after the phone throwing incident, when he was promoting his album |

I shook Jimmy Carter's hand at a book signing when I was little.
Harmon Killebrew signed my baseball at a minor league game.
I stood in line behind Billy Gibbons from ZZ Top at a mall in Peoria, Illinois.I was standing behind him thinking "Dude, that guy looks like the guy from ZZ Top. He dresses pretty cool for an old guy..." He told me to go ahead of him because he would be awhile, so I did.
I didn't realize that it actually was him until I left the store and people were gawking at him. Then I heard on the radio on the car drive home that ZZ Top was in town for a concert.
Oprah- Went to the show.
I saw Brian from Fly to the Sky at Onnuri Church's Thanksgiving dinner at Yongsan Army Base.[/b] |
