I forgot....the most famous person I ever met while on the job. Paris fucking Hilton. What a dumb bitch. I mean completely stupid. It was like pulling teeth to get a solid soundbite outta her. Here's a vid. I'm the one asking the questions. Slut.

Being a touring Jazz bassist for 15 years, I met a lot of famous folks on the road. Probably my favorite experience I can recall, however, was having breakfast with Dizzy Gillespie.

Apoc · 01-03-2010, 06:07 PM

Joey Ramone in edmonton, and a few wwe wrestlers in moncton when I was bouncing.

The dude who played the big grey guy in 300 and who also played the giant french guy in Sherlock Holmes.

He used to be a wrestler in a regional league around here.

Does he really sound like he's spaced out most of the time?

"How do you say Lancaster right?" Are you fucking serious?

And my question to you would be: Is she a slut or a bitch? She's a slut if she fucked you, a bitch if she didn't.

Oh, and haven't really met anyone famous. Sat across from the Undertaker at an airport while my flight was delayed but didn't know who he was till someone told me later.

I've known the parents of Quintin Mikell, who plays for the Eagles, from before Q was even born.

Nobody really stands out cause I don't really care about celebrities.
