Hey I thought it would be fun to find out what celebrities/stars/entertainers you all have met in your lifetime. I'll start.
Back in the mid-80's I was at a Willie Nelson concert at a summertime county fairgrounds type venue, and while at a vending stand (can't remember if it was t-shirts or beer), one of his Roadies asked me if I was a Groupie and if I wanted to get back stage. Of course I said yes, and so I got to go back and when Willie came off the stage, I was there to meet him, gave him a kiss, asked if he wanted to party... He declined. I was young and foolish, pretty and fit, and so I guess they rounded up young women like that for Willie to meet after every concert. It was pretty cool. And by the way, I saw him this past summer, and they still carry on the practice of asking pretty young women back stage to meet him. This time I wasn't asked back stage. :( Some may say he's a dirty old man, but I think it's kind of sweet, and proves it doesn't matter how old you are physically, but only how old you feel.
Another time, also in the mid-80's, I was at a Dianna Ross concert, and we had these awesome seats, like about 3 rows behind the brass section of her traveling orchestra, and my husband and I were on our feet dancing, and we kind of got into a groove, you know, dancing in sync, and it caught Dianna's eye, and she motioned for us to come up on stage with her. So we did, and I'll never forget, I was wearing cowboy boots with heels, and I'm pretty tall anyway, and so there I was, towering over a teeny tiny Dianna Ross, and my husband was there too, and of course once we got up there, we couldn't remember the dance moves we had been doing, but she sang a song with us up there standing on stage with her, and I can't even remember which one it was. When she was through, she asked if she could give my husband a kiss, and I said yes, and so she pecked him on the cheek, and then gave me a hug, and then we went back to our seats. It was pretty incredible.
Anybody else have any stories they could share?
