Nobody except Duane Allman. Don't remember the year but I think it was 1970-71 (Think it was spring or summer 1971) at a concert in a place in New Orleans called "The Warehouse" that from what I understand dosen't exist anymore. Before the concert me and a buddy went outside in back to partake in a good ol blunt. We were about halfway when who walks out and just starts shootin tha shit with us...Yep....Duane Allman. He walked up introed himself, pulled out a number of his own and we toked on a number and digged on life. just a few moments and he said "Later dudes, ya'll get back inside cause were gonna rock this f'n place".
Shortly after a few months later or so, he passed after being killed on his Harley when a truck pulled out in front of him.
Oh....the concert was bad assed. Johnny and Edgar Winter, Black Oak Arkansas, The Allman Brothers and a few others I can't remember.

Let's see...I don't have pics of all of them. Dean Koontz (author), Arnold, Mickey Jones, Robert Patrick, Suzanne Sommers, ADAM LAMBERT, Terrence Knox, and Susie Essman. But my favorite of all time was Charleton Heston. I was 15 years old and he shook my hand and asked my name and said "It is a pleasure to meet you, Laura". MOSES spoke to ME!

HDB, I had the pleasure of meeting Mickey Jones one time also. I didn't even know who he was at first. He was just talking to us about bikes and the event and stuff, then one of my buddies told me who he was. Great guy!

I live in an area where a lot of celebrities have homes. 2 hrs north of NYC. So, you run into people in the local markets. Merille Streep, Kevin Bacon, Jane Curtain, Van Desiel, Tom Selleck, Sam Waterston, Whoopie Goldburg The only one I have a picture of myself with is Mohhamad Ali, who I met at a wedding. Don't even know where it is at the moment. Frazier Patterson was my neighbor and he used to pick me up hitch hiking back in the old days. There are also many musical celebrities in and around the area, but you know I probably wouldn't recognise them. Most of the time I might run into someone famous and not even realize who I'm chatting with until after I'm gone. Just someone in the coffee shop.

I went to a Christmas party at a recording studio in Hollywood back in 1991. Met all kinds of recording artists, producers, porn stars, and more. But the one I wish I could find the picture that was taken of me with was Ted Nugent. I didn't even know it was him till after the pic was taken and my now ex-mother-in-law asked me if I recognized him. Short little ****** was wearing a big assed snakeskin cowboy hat, jacket and pants standing around in one of the hallways outside of the studios with two smokin' hot porn stars on each arm. He saw me and said "Hey you big ******* Marine get over here and let me get my picture with you". Honestly didn't ******* recognize who he was but he was cool as hell so I carried my dumb ass over and got in between the girls and him and smiled for the pic.

My dad flew for the Irish Army Air Corp and did the stunt flying on several films including The Blue Max,The red Baron,Darling Lilly and Zeppelin during which he was killed in an accident.
There is a foto somewhere of me at the tender age of three nuzzled into Ursala Andress's bosum, with George Peppard and James Mason in 1968. Man, I was just too young to know what a wonderful place I was ....LOL
I met Bob Geldof when he was one of the Boomtown Rats, but probably the best people I ever met were Richard Harris, Steven Rea and Liam Neeson when they were drinking in a pub in Dublin called the Gravediggers while they were on the sets of the films Micheal Collinsand Some Mother's son.
What is worse is when you meet somebody famous and you have no idea who they are.
I was at Dublin Airport waiting for a flight when this bloke walked into the bar, he smiled at everybody and said hello, friendly guy and was chatting to another bloke, I got called for my flight and had to walk through them.
I said excuse me but they did not move, again I said excuse me and nobody moved, so with all the tact of a bull I just pushed my way through.
One guy said "do you not know who this is?"
"No" says I.
"This is Pierce Brosnan"
"So F**king What?" says I. It was not until I was on the plane I opened a magazine to see the quiet blokes face staring at me as being the new James Bond......My kids have never forgiven me!

Met Eric Clapton one night of all places in the local grocery store. It was about 10:30 and he was just grabbing some snacks. He told me that every now and then he just needed to get out and get away from it all. He stood outside the store bs'n with me for about 30 minutes while eating some chips and drinking a soda. Cool guy.

Arnold Schwarzenegger in Bosnia while he debut one of his movies. I was there at the base theater long enough to shake his hand and thanked him for coming and then I was off to guard duty. Had to wait until I got home to see the movie. I found him not to be as tall in person as in his movies.
