I got to see Suzy Boggus perform at the Country Music Hall of Fame's Ford (yes, Ford Motor Company-sponsored) Theater, a few years ago. Well, one thing led to another and she was signing autographs after the gig.
My ex-girlfriend and I was in line. So, we get up there, and after hearing all of the other folks talking to her, I asked ....
"So, Miss Boggus, if that was the Ford Theater, where was the booth Lincoln was shot?" :rollin:
Then I had to make it up and asked a serious question about her cover of "It Doesn't Matter Anymore," on the "Remembering Buddy Holly" album that came out a few winters before :o
who? lol
not that i expect any of you to know who sick of it all is, i met the bassist and drummer at CBGB's a few years back in NYC before they shut down.. i was only about 15-16 then
I met and got Ted Nugent's autograph after a Skynyrd/Nugent concert once.

Yep ...I even have an autograph from Kathy Mattea (http://www.mattea.com/KathyMatteaHome2008.html) that has, and I quote, "Love, Kathy." I told my wife, before we got married, that if she couldn't handle the fact Kathy Mattea loved me, she need not get involved with such a modern Don Juan. She just rolled her eyes :rollin:
Gayle is a very close friend of the bass player (and his wife) from Daughtry. the two wives talk nearly every day. She also knows all of the members very well except the drummer (new guy). I met Mac Davis (younger people won't know who that is), and I actually have had many conversations via email with Joel Rosen (the man who made the Baldwin Motion Vettes,Camaros,etc).
Awesome!!!! Love Ted Nugent!
I met Rusty Wallace once when I was about 12 at a boat show in Charlotte. This was around 2000...
My younger brother met him that day too. He was about 7-8 at the time, and he walks up to Rusty and says: "Jeff Gordon is my favorite driver, but I think you're good too."
Thank God Rusty was nice about it, and all he did was smile and say: "I'm just glad you like racing."
There used to be a kind of bitter rivalry between Jeff and Rusty...That's why it's kind of funny if you're not familiar with Winston Cup.
Ted Nugent comes here to Ardmore a few times a year.
I've had plenty of possible opportunities over the past 5 years to meet a lot of famous people, mostly musicians. Just never felt compelled to do so.
Kinda wish I'd have gone to meet Carrie Underwood though. :punchballs:
My uncle on my dad's side used to jam with Areosmith in a bar in Boston before they really got famous, he is the one that got me into playing guitar after my grandmother died when I was like 14. Coincidentally, my aunt's sister(by marriage - never met her) on my my moms side of the family is married to Tom Hamilton.
The most memorable concert I ever went to in my 33 years has got to be the concert Waylon Jennings did in January of '00. I was there, took my brother with me ...man ...The best concert I ever dang gum saw, y'all ...

I feel fortunate for having seen such an awesome dude in concert :(
I met Eddie Furlong and Gene Simmons when I worked as an extra on the set of Detroit Rock city.
I drove a '71 'Cuda and a '70 Superbee in a few back ground scenes and also played a t-shirt vendor.
Eddie was pretty high most of the time. I hung out with him and a friend for about 20min just shooting the Sh*t.
Talked to Gene after a shoot. He had taken off his makeup so not too many people recognised him. He was about to autograph a hat for me when a small group of women recognized him and began running towards us. Security rushed him off but he made sure to toss me my hat back. Cool guy.
