Name Dropper

Ree, the one and only HOTfessional, responded to this post "Personal Inventory" by asking: Okay - so you were married at one point to a musician. Who is the most famous person you ever met?

Famous by different standards, but by names most may recognize would be:

Madonna - She banked at a bank I worked at when she was in 10th-12th grade.

Glenn Frey - I blew it, waaaaaaaay back in in Royal Oak, MI

These people stayed at a local Hilton my ex-husband's band played at ... met them, sat, talked with them when they came in the bar to listen to the band:

Kenny Loggins - Super nice guy.

Mr. T - He drank milk all night, danced with us "wives" of the band.


Men At Work - All fun, partying guys.

W/Colin Hay from Men at Work

Howard Cosell - He had waaaaay too much to drink and while talking to me I could see his "rug" slipping off his head. He put it back in place and walked away, errr, stumbled away.

Tom Petty - Met after a show at "Pine Knob" (now DTE) in Clarkston MI ) psssst ... his wife, at that time, looked JUST.LIKE.HIM. very odd

Dan Baird / Georgia Satellites - Met Dan at Oakland Mall, Troy MI when they were in town. Met the rest of the band (Satellites) at their concert that weekend.

Jeffrey Gaines - Ann Arbor, MI

The above are people I actually met and spend some time partying talking to.

As far as saying hey ... hi :

Michael Jordan - Hilton my ex was playing at.
Pat Benatar - Hilton my ex was playing at.
Ted Nugent - He and his Mrs. sat BEHIND Linda and I on side stage at a Bob Seger concert.

Bob Seger
(and here he is again @ Piston game sitting across from me)

Tanya Tucker - Good Lord, and I admit this ... twice? (click for pics)

I'm stumped for more. Family? If you think of anyone, just leave it in comments.

I'm sure there is a baseball player in there somewhere too. *wink

BUT ... most famous?

AND ... the photo of me with most famous?
Grrrrr ... came out all blurred because some azzswipe shoved my sister aside when she was taking it. Still, I'd say the most famous would be:

The President of the United States, Barack Obama
shook my hand AND hugged me ... oh yeah!

And to the best of my recollection,
I believe this is when I first caught his eye,
he air kissed me, yeah, that's it... mmmm-hum, that's how it went.

And this dude? His secret service dude?
The one that immediately broke our hug apart.
He must work for Michelle.

*Now hush, no laughing at the photos, or my hair, or my fab fashion sense, especially you Captain Obvious. While pulling pics, I found a few of you *(Garfield) to scan. (with your permission of course)
