Tom Barrett (Milwaukee mayor who lost a bid for governor against Scott Walker) once waved at me in a bar in Wauwatosa. And Jess Margera (drummer for CKY and Bam's older brother) signed a napkin for me once.

Those are the only two names I think would even register with more than a few people here. I don't get out much.

I`ve met a quite a few famous people. Just don`t remember who`s hands I shook. I don`t remember if i shook Snoop Dogg`s hand, but we had a few minute conversation and I got an autograph as a 20 year old. The four below i`m sure i shook their hands. Not sure who is more famous.

Carlton from Fresh Prince (Alphonso Ribeiro)

Master P

Vanilla Ice

John Matuszak Plunkett,Flores,Archie,Pastorini, Ted The Stork Hendricks etc etc. Jimmy the Greek wouldn’t. 1980 Super Bowl after party at The Fairmont(The Roosevelt) @ the time, greatest time I ever had from what I remember, Coke was it ! Matuszak had me hug his Mom, I fell in love with a Raiderette from Seattle but lost her number,lol. We were dancing and Archie was next to me dancing with wife? I guess but I wasn’t awestruck because of ole miss days I guess. Me and my good friend kept walking behind the set where Jimmy the Greek & 2 other radio guys were Bs’ing in Superdome. If you ever saw North Dallas Forty where Matuszak was (jacked up) before the game , in real life when they came out of locker room before the kickoff ( shoulda bet my house on the game) Matuszak was a WILD-EYED manic, he looked right @ me and it was like a scene from that movie, he let out a Roar and I told my buddy from ( Philly) they are going to Kill you all, he said I think you’re right ! Right place Right was how I even found the party, game ticket was 15 bucks ! Tried to shake Michael Strahan’s hand in line at Mothers (NOLA)after , I think NC game a super bowl and it was like he thought he was a God, he looked me up and down like don’t ever touch me F him ! Never liked the prick aft. that. Sorry for getting off the subject. So I lived in WV. for a few years and met Saban , shook hands and we talked about WV. ,shook hands with Les , Donna Douglas aka Ella May Clampett, Beverly Hillbillies, think she was from LA. but met her in L. A. Gov. Haley Barbour, Charles Evers, a few other Govs. , Mayors… Then Jimmy Cliff, Bunny Wailer, Winston Rodney aka Burning Spear, shook hands and became friends with Joseph Hill (Culture),too many musicians, The Neville bros. Almost all of them , Linda Ronstadt, BB King , many other Reggae stars ( if I had to explain you wouldn’t understand), Springsteen (got 1st 26 seats on front row) concert in Jackson MS. The list goes on and I know that some of these people you either haven’t heard of or you don’t consider famous and maybe they aren’t but it doesn’t really matter. I will tell you this I’m 65 and I have been truly blessed to even be alive to write this (see Super Bowl aft. Party.) I have also been very lucky. Luck and right place right time got me those 26 tickets, Super Bowl party and a lot more. I am just a retired tool & die maker working in a GM factory for 30 years . I did have several great friends with greater connections that helped but mostly I am just an ordinary Joe that has had an extraordinary Life ! Stories that would blow you away not like my list of “famous “ people but insane funny stories . I have been very fortunate…I quit proofreading these texts and I’m thinking I just wrote a book ! LMAO & GEAUX TIGERS ! Oh yeah Skip Bertman @ Harrahs, playing video poker next to him & shook hands. Jerry Jeff Walker & my oldest son was 5-7 yr. old & he picked him up and put him in his lap and we talked about mostly things we didn’t do anymore. This son shook hands with Burt Reynolds in NYC piazza parlor .
