I met country singer Doug Supernaw back in the early 90s at Iah aka Bush Airport. We were waiting in line to get through security and I asked for an autograph, received it and talked with him till his turn through security. Good guy just had bad habits and some issues.

Currently hes fighting cancer but in remission. Still plays venues every now and then.

I was passing through Chicago (I assume it was O'Hare) when Oprah and her entourage passed by. I remember she was wearing a big fur coat. I had just been in a shop that had a mag with her photo on the front page. I was looking at the mag in the shop and then looking at her and I was like what the heck. At the time she was such a new celebrity I wasn't even sure how her name was pronounced. I am not an autograph hound but it would be hard to run down a celebrity and ask for an autograph when you can't even say their name.

My wife and I are huge fans of the musical group 'Cowboy Junkies', a band from Canada. We attended a concert in Chicago wherein post concert the lead singer was out and about in the lobby just making conversation with us. My wife was verklempt, the lead singer hugged my wife, my wife hugged her. Margot Timmons asked us to be her guest at the next evening's show. How awesome is that?

I met Weird Al Yankovic once after one of his concerts. He was surprisingly soft spoken. A very nice guy. This was the days before cell phones, so no evidence exists

My ex and I use to go to Nashville for the yearly Fan Fair. We met so many stars and got pics and autographs and many live shows it was great. We had the luck to meet and greet: Loretta Lynn , Conway Twitty (we went to his fan party and it was great at his place), George Jones and Tammy Wynette, Tanya Tucker, Reba Macintyre, Charley Pride, Minnie Pearl, so many many more. We went for 6 years and always met different ones each time.
We then went to Dollywood and had a great time although Dolly was not there and another year we went to Memphis and went into Elvis's house and walked around and bought some things I still have.
Her brother lived in Texas so we went there for Xmas and it was really nice. Went on the River Walk and visited the Alamo. We then left and went to Nashville for New Years. Fabulous.

I met Kathy Najimy backstage at a March on Washington. (I don't remember which one or the year, but it was one where the Names Project quilts were spread out over the Mall). The chorus I was in (The Atlanta Feminist Women's Chorus) performed. She was very nice and cutie-cute-cute as always. I was a dumba**, as usual when I meet famous people. I think all I said was, "I just love your show!" (It was not too long after The Kathy and Moe Show came out on video. Way before Disney and all that.)
