Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons happened to come into the restaurant my then girlfriend and I were at after attending a KISS concert. Still one of the best groups I’ve ever seen live.

Oh yeah, and Dwight Yoakam.
What an asshole.
i would like to know whatever became of him.....had some good times with that guy....I've tried to track him down...came up with zipi remember you.....whatever happened to Willie?.....Harry Dresden
Let's see.......I met authors Ray Bradbury and Harlan Ellison a couple times each. Legendary UK pub rocker Nick Lowe a couple times. Singer/songwriter/guitarist extraordinaire from the UK, Richard Thompson, a couple times. Also, authors Nelson DeMille and Peter Straub, along with authors Joe R. Lansdale and Dan Simmons. And legendary blues artist Robert Jr. Lockwood, a couple times. He was one of many boyfriends of Robert Johnson's mother. Actually 4-5 years YOUNGER than Johnson, he is considered by some to have taught him some things concerning guitar playing. Side note to Mr. Lockwood - I called a phone number that was on the liner notes of a CD I had purchased the first time I met him, thinking it was probably his booking agent or publicity agent's number. It was his HOME number! I got to talk to him a couple times by phone and wish him a Happy Birthday.In the mid 1960's on a saturday morning, at the age of 12, I went with my father who was a Lt. Col in the US Army to the military airport on the base. He was with a group of top brass, including generals and politicians to see off Robert McNamara the Sec. of Defense under Pres. Kennedy.
I was standing next to my father in awe of all the tall military bigwigs in uniform surrounding me as they shook hands with Sec. McNamara. When suddenly he turn to me, shook my hand, asked me how I was doing, then headed to board his airplane.
Sec. of Defense was the architect of the Vietnam War under both presidents Johnson and Kennedy, and little did I know I had just shaken the hand of the man who in a few years would dramatically impact my life and destiny.
Who is the most famous or infamous person you have ever met? ...
No one though I did see Pope JP2 in Darwin.

Sure did, he was a character.i would like to know whatever became of him.....had some good times with that guy....I've tried to track him down...came up with zipi remember you.....whatever happened to Willie?.....Harry Dresden
I remember asking you about him before, but sadly I have forgotten how things went for you. I do apologize. In what way was Dwight so terrible? Every time that I have seen him, he comes across as a very humble person with a touch of shyness.Oh yeah, and Dwight Yoakam.

According to Ray Manzarek Jim called his father "The Admiral" and it was not a term of endearment.Wasn't Jim's father the skipper involved in the Gulf of Tonkin incident? They lived in Northern Virginia for a while before Jim became the Lizard King and I often imagine him with short hair, riding his bike around, being a normal kid, if he ever was one. His relationship with his father must have been something. His father even was a vestryman at a local church.

The hat is never there when he is in the movies. That is how I know why he wears a hat so much while on stage. I pray that it was just a bad day for him when you saw him.He was just an abusive prick to everybody, his band, the stagehands, anyone in sight. Very full of himself. One of those people who portrays one character in public but very different when nobody's watching.I remember asking you about him before, but sadly I have forgotten how things went for you.

He's bald yanno. That's why he never takes that silly hat off.
Was he wearing a cowboy hat or any kind of hat when you saw him? Did you get a "Hello." from him in return?I was at WalMart a few years ago and said hello to Trace Adkins as he walked by.
I noticed that everyone in the store was looking at him. Finally I asked someone if he was famous or something?
I thought maybe he was a basketball player because he is soo tall. ...
I almost forgot because the premise is 'famous', not 'infamous'.
Last year I'm in Beijing on business, staying at a 5 star hotel, and get on the elevator with Lurch Kerry. Just me and him. Rode about 10 floors down to the lobby together. What is that.... 12-15 seconds? My body wanted to do things that cannot be mentioned in an open forum. I physically had to restrain myself. I knew he was there Logan Acting (that's a new verb) on Trump and undermining anything and everything the DJT administration was doing.
We never took our eyes off each other. I'm sure I looked like a serial killer and he was a little nervous. He looked frail and weak.... and tired. Like an old communist drone that's worked hard for the party bosses for decades and his heart just isn't in it anymore. We walked into the lobby, he had just one little Chinese gal directing his activities and they disappeared into the darkness.... like rain washing dogshit from the gutter down into the sewer.
Calm down - But we do understand that you secretly wanted to fuck him.
