Ran into her in a Nashville mall... I was taking my niece into a toy store of some kind (90% sure it was a Build-a-Bear, but not sure) and ran into her while I was in there. She pretty much just talked to my niece the whole time, which was a good thing because all I wanted to say was "I loved Eyes Wide Shut." (it seriously is one of my favorite movies). But, I thought that would have been awkward because, well, she was basically naked the whole movie. Anyway, my two year old niece played it like a boss and said "this is my Uncle Jack". I can tell you that she is exceedingly pretty and was very nice and casual to me. That was basically it...
oh and we had sex. Average.

I think she was about as tall as me and I'm 6'1. Of course I can't be sure that she wasn't wearing some sort of mini heels or boots. She was wearing jeans and looked really casual. I always had kind of a crush on her growing up and I'll tell you that I didn't walk away feeling like she was more attractive on the big screen.

Famous does not always equal interesting.
I had a psychology professor in the fall semester who was utterly fascinating.

Stallone was awesome. Talked to him about Rocky for about twenty minutes. Was really incredible.

Ha! He was shorter. Funny enough a guy I played college football with played high school football with Diaco. He can't say enough good things about Bobby D.
Stallone was/is jacked. He has the arms of a 20 year old. He was super cool and very patriotic. My brother and I were pitching him a take for DEATH WISH but before we started by brother told him how the speech in Rocky, about wanting to just be able to go the distance and "not be another bum" from the neighborhood, was one of our all time favorites. It sets up the finish line and allows him to "win" by losing. It is utterly genius. He loved that and told us the producer wasn't going to let him shoot that scene. They only had three days to shoot all of the scenes in his apartment. The end of the third day comes around and the producers don't want to have to pay the crew overtime. They tell Sly, "we don't need this scene, we'll just cut to the fight." But Sly told them that he wouldn't do the final fight sequence if they didn't let him do this scene. They went back and forth for a bit but eventually the producers told him they would give him one take. And that is what you see in the film. Funny thing is the next day after dailies the producer came out and hugged Stallone. Told him it was going to be the best scene in the film.

Ok, I'll join this brag-fest. In somewhat chronological order:
Sat on the edge of the stage at the first concert I ever attended at the ACC when I was 15 and shared a joint with Rare Earth's organ player during the show.
Posed as a chair picker-upper after a concert, again at the ACC when I was in high school, and snuck backstage and met and talked to Neil Young and Crazy Horse.
Posed as the president of one of ND's service organizations when I was a student there, and went to a Boston concert armed with a cassette recorder. Talked my way backstage after the concert under the pretext of getting the band to record a promotional recording to be played on the radio to promote a "dance-a-thon." Got into their dressing room (those guys were partying pretty hard) and the lead singer (funny, I can't remember his name) did two or three takes for me. Wish I would have saved it.
Was walking across campus one day and saw a little crowd of people and some TV cameras. Went to see what was happening, and it was Gerald Ford. Found out he was giving a talk in Washington Hall to a poly-sci class, so I "joined" the class and went in to see what he had to say. When it came to the question and answer period, I raised my hand and asked him if the Boy Scout uniform he wore in those promotional commercials was actually his from when he was a Scout or if they had to get him a new one. Got some strange looks over that.
Went to see Timothy Leary speak at Washington Hall while a student. Afterwards, they had a "reception" for him, but only about 6 people showed up. We just sat around and asked him questions and listened to him babble away. Pretty strange dude.
Was sitting on the Ad building steps one beautiful, sunny, autumn day, skipping class (as usual) and stoned to the bone, when up the steps comes Father Ted. I said "hi" and he actually stopped to talk for quite a long time. Does he count?
Ted Nugent spent an evening in my bar one time, and gave me an autographed picture of a deer he had shot at his ranch in Michigan.
Rush Limbaugh also spent an all-nighter in my bar. We had a great time drinking and talking politics and current events. Had some minor business dealing later on. Regardless of what you might think of his politics, he is an extremely gracious, generous, and self-effacing guy in person.
I got invited to an after-hours jam session one time by the guitar player (a good friend) for a local band who were doing a live-recording CD. John Fogarty was producing them. So, got to sit around all night and drink beer and talk with Fogarty and listen to him jam with the band.
Was drunk as hell one time at Wrigley and followed Harry Carey right into his dressing room to get his autograph. Instead of having me thrown out on my ***, as he should have done, he asked me where I was from, gave me the autograph, and talked to me for awhile.
That day was Ferguson Jenkins day, and they were handing out posters of him. So, I tracked Fergie down and had him autograph that. Of course, we talked for a little while after I told him he was one of my heros when I was a kid, especially during the '69 season.
Have met and spoken with Peter Wolf of the Mighty J. Geils band, once in '99 at the New World Theatre outside of Chicago (where we shared a doobie), and then a couple years ago in Detroit.
Have met and traded stories with Leon Redbone several tiimes over the years. Once, in this old theatre in the little town of Redkey, Indiana, I went backstage after the show with my entire CD collection of his music and asked him if he could autograph them. He said "well, I've never seen anything like this in my life." Then, he took the time to take each individual paper insert out of the jewel cases and autograph them so the marker wouldn't rub off the outside of the jewel cases. While he was doing this, he and I and his cornet player, Scott Black, and his dobro player, Cindi Cashdollar shot the **** and had a couple of drinks. He likes Johnny Walker Black, by the way.
Sandra Day O'Conner taught one of my constitutional law classes when I was in law school. They had a reception afterwards, so got to grill her at length, especially about her stupid decisions in Hawaii v. Midkiff and Casey v. Planned Parenthood.
Also got to meet Antonin Scalia twice while in law school and talk with him about modes of constitutional interpretation. One of my personal heros, but way smarter than I will ever dream of being. Funny, too, though.
I was hanging out in Chicago for a few days a few years ago, so I decided to walk down from the hotel I was staying at to Buddy Guy's Legends, 'cause I'd never been there, but had heard a lot about it (the original place, not the new one). Got there about 2 in the afternoon, but they were closed. I didn't realize they didn't open up until the evening. But, I saw some people in there, so I banged on the door, told them I was from out of town, and asked if I could just come in and look around. To my surprise, they said "OK." So, I'm in there looking around in awe at the stuff they have hanging on the walls--Muddy Waters credit cards (name on them was Mckiinley Morganfield, of course); a letter signed by Eric Clapton and Keith Richards, among others, to nominate Chuck Berry's piano player, Johnny Johnson, to the R&R HOF; one of Stevie Ray's guitars, etc., etc. There was this old, black gentleman in there drinking and playing pool all by himself. So, I struck up a conversation with him, and before long, he told the' clean-up guys to get me a drink, and we ended up just playing pool and drinking until the place opened. After awhile, I saw a guy I knew, Tommy McCracken, who is a pretty well-known blues singer around Chicago. He said "man, do you know who you're drinking and playing pool with?" I really had no idea. He said "man, that's Otis Rush." I was pretty floored. Later on, Tommy introduced me to Jim Croce's son, A.J., Eddie "the Chief" Clearwater, Li'l Ed of Li'l Ed and the Imperials, and Matthew Skollar. That was pretty cool hanging out with those guys in Chicago for a night.
In 2007, I got to meet and speak with President W and with former Atty. General Edwin Meese at a Federalist Society event in Cincinnati. Meese autographed my copy of his book "The Heritage Guide to the Constitution" for me.
I think that's about it. I just included people who I have had some, what I consider to be, fairly significant contact with, not just incidental. So, there is my list. Hope it interests someone.
Oh, yeah. I forgot, I also met Bill Winchell, the left waist-gunner on the Memphis Belle at a gun-show in South Bend. Invited him to our bar, and he ended up coming over and spending the evening. He was really proud of the jacket he had on, which was the one that Carey Grant wore when he played Bill in the movie about the Belle. A real American hero, and a brave S.O.B. RIP
