CONFESS!!! Who was the first famous person you ever met

[MiddleFingerMom]

76. Probably 1974, I'm at the Munich Olympic Stadium indoor bicycle track for a concert.

RIGHT before the show, I go out to the deserted concourse (where all the food vendors are) and
go to the bratwurst stand, finding this wild-eyed, wild-haired American guy standing at the counter
with three topless bratwurst Kaiser rolls lined up on his inner forearm. He's squirting mustard all
over them. He puts the tops back on, looks me dead (haha) in the eye, says, "These things are
GREAT!!!" and wanders off down the hallway.
.
Not being a fan, I didn't realize WHO it was until I saw him on stage with the rest of The Grateful
Dead. Yep... Jerry.
.
To compound my comedy of errors, I had done the wrong drugs (red wine and hash) and was sound
asleep within 5 minutes of the start of the first space jam.

The COOLEST famous person I ever met was Lalo Guerrero. I was doing some clerical (or maybe
production) work for my show at the radio station on a lazy Sunday in 2001 (just me and the busy
DJ in the station) when the doorbell rang. Old guy in white chinos and a white T-shirt. "I'm the
musician"" he said.
.
The program director had fucked up and made an appointment to interview him on the wrong
date. From his appearance, I'm thinking "accordion player in a wedding band". We had been
talking for about 10 minutes when it slowly dawned on me that I was talking with an actual
living legend.
.
He was about as nice and as unpretentious as a human being can be.

No headphones with me today, but I figure how can I miss with THIS title:
