Way back in my wild days of youth, we threatened Joey Ramone and chased him down 3rd Ave. we really were not going to harm him, just had to much "spirits" that night.
Also ran into Carly Simon getting out of a taxi with another lesbo, we made a few derogatory remarks, she made some back, end of story.
Later on, when I became a good boy, at a little league awards banquet, I coached and ran youth sports programs for many years, we had Neil Allen of the NY Mets as the guest of honor. He actually stayed after it was over shooting the breeze with the coaches and actually helped us put away the tables.
Years earlier, Ed Kranepool of the NY Mets was the guest. He spoke a little, then dinner came. After dinner he was supposed to present some awards to the kids. He excused himself to use the bathroom. After dinner there was no sign of Kranepool, he skipped out.
I met Rudy Guiliani when he first ran for mayor, I was eating in the Waterfront Crabhouse, he was leaving, I was entering.
Also, Carol Alt in Flushing Meadows at a Queens day festival, she was with her then boyfriend, NY Rangers Ron Duguay, it was that long ago.
As some here have said though, big deal.
I work with a Bangli muslim who admitted he would blow himself up on a bus, did I mention I work in a bus depot, I am sure he will also be famous someday.
