Sat next to Sissy Spacek from Austin to JFK, she is a tiny lady and very nice to everyone.

Sat next to Sandra Bullock’s exhusband, Jesse James. He smelled like he hadn’t bathed in a year and he was a complete dick to anyone that tried to talk to him.

Sat next to Paul Kantner, guitarist for Jefferson Starship (the rest of the band was there too) just a couple of years before he died. He asked my opinion on riding lawnmowers.

Sat in the upper floor business class area of a 747 flight from LAX to Tokyo... only 4 or 5 other passengers were up there, two of which were Die Antwoord. Yolandi was dressed very conservatively, was super nice and talked a lot, and she is quite attractive in person. Ninja got sloppy drunk and passed out after being a dick to the flight attendant.

Not sure who of those is the most famous.

Was his voice similar to his over the top Afrikaans accent or more like his original British accent?

Seriously, I couldn’t tell you... other than every other syllable was “fukin”.

I talked with Yolandi for about 20-30 minutes at the snack station. She was very easy going. She didn’t cuss and really liked talking about her pets. I had no idea who the were other than some kind of entertainers. This was right before that terrible movie they were in came out.

Not most famous (that was Brad Pitt) but best was Daryl Johnston. He flew coach back from NOLA to DFW. Half the plane was Saints fans and they were talking shite about the Cowboys the whole time (me included). He was taking all in good stride.

I rode a greyhound bus next to Karl Malone before he was drafted.

Flew to DC back in the day with wrestlers: Jake the Snake, Coco Beware, The Animal and others.

More recently flew next to golfer Dustin Johnson. The lady next to us had no idea who he was and talked his ear off. He was very kind and patient with her.

Probably more but funny to me in that the two I know of I ended up in a room alone with them at the airport after the flight.

James Rubin( arse. Secretary of State), interrogation in Seattle coming from Europe.

P. Manning, they lost our bags in Memphis.
