Have you ever met a celebrity before?

I've met a couple of writers you may have heard of, they were nice regular people. I went thrift shopping in LA with one, but that was a long time ago.

An NFL football player (retired), an actress, and quite a number of many bands. They were all pretty chill and kind.

Lots of people in the music industry; surprisingly mostly nice.

Yes lot's of them, most of them are just regular people.

Most "famous" I ever met was James Cameron who was just a normal dude. Michael Bay was down to earth and normal too, and even kind of shy.

The only hothead egomaniac I ever met was Sebastian Bach, it was around 2003 or so. He was playing solo acts at dive bars and couldn't even sell out the venues, yet he was walking around and talking down to people like he was the fucking King of the World. Biggest douchebag I've ever seen in my life.

As a kid, met a few of the players for the Oakland A's at a signing event in the early 1970's. Sal Bando, Rollie Fingers a couple others. Reggie Jackson was supposed to be there, but had to cancel at the last minute.

Also as a kid met pro wrestler Ray Stevens a few times. His daughter played with my older sister on a girls softball team. He lived in my home town the last couple of decades of his life.

In the early-mid 90's met Joey Alves, the original Rythym guitarist for the rock band Y&T (long after he had left- he was a co-founder & played on their first 6 albums) He came by the grocery store I worked at after closing time looking for a co-worker of mine. Didn't know who he was until she told me. He was working as a cab driver & was very badly into meth at the time.

I met Darren McGavin on an airplane. Talked for almost twenty minutes.

Yes.

The one and only, Tom Green. He was as nice as I expected.
