Topic: What is your "Claim to Fame?" | |

What famous or well-known people have you met?
Talked to Dan Fogelberg for about two hours at a bar once. Didn't even know it was him until about halfway through the conversation. Very nice guy. Met and talked with Willy Nelson for a while, also at a bar. He was there doing a fundraiser for a local kid who needed a kidney transplant or something. Jimmy Buffet used to go to that same bar all the time and I chatted with him briefly a few times. He kinda liked to stay out of the limelight and just eat in peace. Always sat in a corner where he couldn't easily be seen. Can't say I blame him. Met the Hagar twins (remember them from HeeHaw?) They used to come into Walmart all the time when I worked there in the early '80s. Also met Marty Stewart and Lori Morgan there. Oh, and of course, Mr. Sam himself...and for anyone who didn't know Sam Walton, I can tell you, for a billionaire, he was probably THE most down to earth and unpretentious man alive. He drove an old beat-up pickup truck, wore "overhalls" and would wait in long lines just like any other customer. Met Don King and his son and a bunch of his crew, some of the boxers (but no one really well known..would love to meet Oscar!) Was introduced to Selena when she came to record her crossover album while I was working for a local newspaper. This was about a year before she was murdered. And a handful of others I've met over the years who I can't think of right now, usually via people in the music industry I've known or because of places I've worked. All of them were very nice people and you'd never know they were famous or rich just by talking to them. They were all very friendly and easy to talk to. |

Ummm I don't know, we get so many visitors here, and they like to go out
to the Great Barrier Reef, mostly Australians, and American actors taking a break from film shoots... What I can say is all of the American actors, bit male and female, have been the nost polite and respectful, and interested in my country. Even the infamous Miss Hilton, was sweet, and nothing like she likes to portray herself to be. (and Keanu is a doll in real life) |

Too many, some used to have homes in the French Quarters, but a lot of
celebrities are in the parades here and quite a few movies filmed in Louisiana. You have alot that come here to be treated as just everyday people and they are. |
