The Stones backstage this summer. A few others also, but the memories from those encounters don´t mean as much as meeting the Stones. Well, Thin Lizzy in their heyday was great also, especially Phil.
i've met a bunch in various circumstances but a big one with whom i had a regular conversation with was woody harrelson. we both know howard lyman (the ex-rancher who was sued along with oprah for letting the truth be known about the meat industry on her show years ago).
i have also spent time with jane goodall, david lindley, linda blair, and ric o'barry (trainer for dolphins in the Flipper TV series and now dolphin activist).
the other brief/weird meetings that i can remember right now:
the ramones perry como allen ginsburg lawrence ferlinghetti mickey dolenz james cromwell john cusack (bad encounter at a bar) rainn wilson (went to high school with him) charlotte ross (bad encounter - went to high school with her) mark mcgrath chris elliot male lead singer from jefferson starship i'm told i met the ice skater, scott hamilton, when i was young scott baio larry wilcox (from CHiPs) casey kasem (talked to him on phone) kevin nealon (talked to him on phone) bob barker keith morrison (reporter for Dateline NBC)
i have a hand written letter from the guy who played Starbuck on the original Battlestar Galactica)
then there's the stones which fall into a different category altogether
and those i've come face to face with but have been too shy to say anything and just get googly-eyed: bob weir (grateful dead) and benecio del toro (each on two different occassions - next time i'll say hello).
Queenie - can you tell us about your bad encounters with John Cusack and Charlotte Ross? She's the girl that used to be on The Heights and Days of Our Lives and that cop show, right?

Hahahaha - thanks for sticking up for us with sssoul! Standing next to Rockman, would make anyone look fat though, that's probably what he means. ;-)
Rockman - you da Star - especially after seeing the pics of the Krueger show from Paulywaul & Beast. I wonder if you inspired him to paint it? I would run with that story if I were you.

hahahahaha!
You have to believe me, I was just going to meet her and tell her that she needs to be more careful! yeah I brought condoms, and yeah I showed her photos of my penis, but that was just silly stuff. I promise I was just going to talk to her.
WMiller - you shouldn't have fallen for the old ice tea trap, it gets the pedophiles everytime.
You must be referring to the Sheffield concert where Erik & I make it on the big screen during Satisfaction! I certainly felt like I was walking on clouds that night.

Believe me, next time I won't...errr. I mean, there won't be a next time.
I run into Tommy Lee, Nicki Sixx, Heather Lockleer and Pamela Anderson every so often as they live not too far from me. I once had a brief conversation with Bob Hope as I was leaving and he was entering Lawrey's in Beverly Hills. I had a conversation with Jay Leno while we were both waiting for a traffic light to change.
