I dunno if this has been ask here at Pixies before but.........

Today I got to thinking and I remembered a segement on David Letterman where he did an audience poll to see who has ever met, or almost met, or met someone who knew or worked for, a celebrity.

So I thought, why not? Have you ever had a "BRUSH WTH GREATNESS"?

I met Cheap Trick when they were just about to hit the big times. I worked for Columbia Records distributions in N.J. the year Cheap Trick's first album came out. We got a pass from work to see them at a local club and an exclusive "back stage pass" as well. I stood next to Robin Zander and thought, "This is the shortest man I have ever met!" LMAO! But he was nice enough and the band even gave a friend of mine a ride home in their Winnabago, because as they left the club they saw her drunk and hitchiking down a lonely road. She remembered some of the ride and when she woke in the morning, draped over her as if it were a blanket was a jacket Robin wore that night. You know the one..........has Cheap Trick from top to bottom on it.

I also met John Travolta at a convention center in Philly, way back when he was Vinny Barbarino on "Welcome Back Kotter".

Met Nick Nolte at that same center at a different time when he was doing the mini-series "Rich Man Poor Man".

I was sitting on the beach in Atlantic City, N.J. .......oh.......eons ago......and saw Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong walking down the beach and throwing something up for the seagulls to eat. They had so many seagulls around them I dare not approach them for fear of an attack by the birds.......LOL!....Looked just like the movie "The Birds"......but this one had Cheech and Cong in it!..........maybe they were throwing them joints!.......LMAO!

Oh.....And when we lived in the Fla. Keys we heard a radio broadcast that said David Lee Roth had been spotted doing some songs at a few clubs up and down the strip in South Beach, Miami. So, off we went to South Beach.......but alas....to no avail! DLR was nowhere to be found! Bummer! We did however live right down the road from where Jack Nicholson and Kathy Lee Gifford had "winter homes" in Key Largo! Never saw them though and we would take a yacht out periodically (we worked for a Yachting Co.) to pass by the homes on the bay side.....no one was ever there!

OK....your turn!
