Well Gitch,I've talked of these before but it's well worth repeating.
Does simple acknowlegement count? :D
If so,Colin Hay,lead singer of Men At Work gave a thumbs up to my hand drawn poster at a 1983 concert.
My first real celebrity encounter was none other than DJ/TV star Wolfman Jack! In early 1983 he was at the grand opening of a store in a plaza just down the street from my house.
He broadcasted live on Kool-FM and asked me my name. I told him and he said over the air that my last name was a rare funny kind of bird! :D LOL!
He also said,"Rememeber the song Running Bear?... That's what were all gonna do in the parkin' lot after the show!"
I still have his autographed picture in a frame. I was totally bummed out when he passed away in 1995.
I didn't meet another famous person until 1994 when I met Fred "Rerun" Berry at the local grocery store I worked at. Still have his autograph too and again,sad another one I'd met passed away later on.
Then there's when my brother and I saw Warren Zevon at a Scottsdale club,it was basically that I said "Hi,Mr. Zevon good show". He kinda nodded a thank you.
Then there's Alice Cooper who I met at the country club that he's a memeber of & where I worked at the time. I wish I could recall what was said but it just surprised me and I know I didn't say much.
I met the then curreent line-up of Little River Band at the now defunct Red River Opry house in Tempe. All but one or two signed my "Sleeper Catcher" LP and I got to talk with them for a few befoe my ride showed up.
Lastly about 4 years ago,I met a few members of George Clinton's Parliament/Funkedelic at a (now closed) record store appearence.
(George Clinton was supposed to be there but was dealing with legal trouble in California.)
After that,Gordon of course! Twice.
Now,if I meet Mariah,I know exactly what i'm gonna do.....faint. :D LOL!
