My [ersonal favorites because they are the leaders of my favorite ROCK band: the Davies Brothers Ray and Dave. Met them each on their solo tours though. Both very very nice men. After Dave's CLeveland concert back in '03, a group of us went to Denny's and lo and behold his band (Jim Lespesa, Jonathan Lea, and Derek) came in so we all sat together and had a great evening.

While in Phoenix met with and talked to Alice Cooper, actually played golf with him, extremely nice man, very funny.

Met a very big rock star, a good friend of mine was sponsored in AA by him. He is very religious about AA and if you meet him in that capacity that IS the only way you meet him, not as a rock star. In fact he will get pissed if you talk anything but AA in that capacity.

Attended some of the same meetings in Phoenix as several other stars but anonymity rules.

Grew up in Lexington Ohio with Mid-Ohio Race Car Course practically in my backyard. Kiwanis worked the gates and such, and as my father was a member I was able to work the gates also, so I met a lot of big name CART racers, Bobby Rahal, Rick Mears, etc. Also a couple actors Newman, Redford, Letterman.

I also have met golfers as in the 90's before my parents divorce my dad was doing the excavating work on golf courses. My 2 favorites were John Daly, can be an ass, but nice guy, and the late Payne Stewart, dad worked with him on a few jobs.

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
