In all honesty I ran into Jesse the former MTV VJ. . . in the Edmond Library last year.
I posted a thread on this a year ago.
I spoke to him and he was friendly. He was extremely tall and thin and he needed a bath.

Last year I met Harm DeBlij. . . he is a famous writer/professor (known worldwide) for numerous geography textbooks that are used in colleges. Of course, I am probably the only one on EF who knows who he is lol.

2 Thick,
This is 100 percent correct!!! Its the most neglected discipline in the United States. . people are clueless.
You would be floored if you saw the quality of work that freshman are turning in in basic 1103 Human Geography. We (graduate students) grade all papers, projects, and exams. This is what we have seen:
One freshman thought that the sun came up from the west.
Another student thought that mass wasting was dieting.
One guy approached a G.T.A. and said he didn't give a shit about geography. Why did he sign up for the class?
Unbelievable!!! Most of the concepts are easy enough for a middle/high school student to understand.
Interesting enough, 60 percent of the graduate student body are international students.
The best geographers in the world are from Europe. Karl Sauer (German) was the father of geography.
All concepts that we studied in Contemporary Geographic Thought were developed by Europeans.
I think that you would enjoy this area. . . you would make a good political/economic geographer.

Saw Vincent Price when I was a little kid
Various local "celebrities" (tv/radio peeps)
Not exactly a "household name," but I met Eddie Felson, the man the movies "The Hustler" and "The Color Of Money" were about (Paul Newman played the part of Eddie Felson)

I guess I am lucky, I have met several famous people. The thing is, I only seem to remember the really cool ones, and the ones that were dicks.
Lawrence Taylor and Lee Trevino are real pricks.
Joe Pesci was really cool. (He grew up with my uncle, and mother.) Robert DeNiro said "nice to meet you" and then went to his trailer.
Van Halen are the coolest guys. Laid back and grounded.
Although Eddie was a little "out there."
The Offspring were funny guys. The guys in Cypress Hill were smoking weed the entire time I was talking with them. They even offered me some.
Joe Montana, Mickey Mantle, Muhammed Ali, Reggie Jackson, and Don Mattingly were very nice.
Derek Jeter was really cool in 95, then became a dick in 96. (I guess a WS ring, and becoming Rookie of the Year will do that to you.)
The original members of KISS were pretty nice. Ace and Peter were wasted. Gene is like fifteen feet tall.
Adam West (yes, the one from the Batman tv show) was hilarious.
Bruce Springsteen was very humble, I felt like he was grateful to meet me.
The Rock was a really nice guy. I grew up with his wife, and at the time worked for the same company as her, so we had something to talk about. At the time he was 6'5", and about 260+lbs.
The one thing that really makes a difference is when you approach them. If you bother someone at dinner, don't expect them to be nice to you. Famous people are just like us... some are nice, some are assholes. Most of the people I have met were at parties, backstage, or before/after a game.

I saw Richard Gere, J-lo, Stanley Tucci and Susan Sarandon a few weeks ago.
Ben Affleck was here too, but I hadn't seen him. He picked up a Harley from the shop on the corner.

I saw Muhammed Ali one time at a Ponderosa restaurant. He was there with his wife. They drove there in a brown and orange Rolls Royce.

I've met a few. The thing is, there are so many famous people, that most of us have probably met more actors and professional atheletes than we realize, and just didn't know it.

joe frazier. nice guy, wore a sharkskin double breasted suit and a medallion.
In my line of work I tend to meet a lot of famous musicians. Tonight it was Seether. Last night we had Sandra Bullock's husband. I've dealt with Richie Havens, Joan Baez, Janis Ian, Tito Puente, Lief Garret, Cory Feldman (fronting a band -- he was dreadful), Tone Loc, Sir Mix-A-Lot, Digital Underground, John Entwistle, Richard Thompson, Frank Black, Puddle of Mudd, Saliva, Three Doors Down, Rev. Horton Heat, Jerry Jeff Walker, Pat Green, Southern Culture on the Skids, Evanescence, and I could go on like this for pages...
