One wanted to punch me, and another had it known who he was and thus, reason enough for him not to respect the line.<BR/><BR/>From my experiences, I can say that some celebrities do not want to be left alone. They crave the attention and use their status to get above the heads of Amadeohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00040096079637569742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18348841.post-75014004908937316112007-07-14T02:01:00.000+10:002007-07-14T02:01:00.000+10:00And that's my point, these people are no more inte...And that's my point, these people are no more interesting than anyone else. And roadies? Well, they certainly are NOT celebs! I helped set up and take down the stage and props for Alice Cooper about 7 years ago and his roadies were asses. He didn't impress me either, full of himself just as you'd expect... Kristin Chenoweth was nice though; I wrote a post last year about my encounter with her at PhilippinesPhilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15921214743105919057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18348841.post-84916048511998074412007-07-14T01:54:00.000+10:002007-07-14T01:54:00.000+10:00Excellent blog post.

I did ride in a limo with Charleston Heston once but he mostly just ignored us the entire five minutes. The only celebreties that I have known and talked to are some roadies for ZZTop who own land next to some land my parents own in Arkansas. However like I said, neither story is very interesting.Edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13214319366049620074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18348841.post-53544798108331054962007-07-12T03:42:00.000+10:002007-07-12T03:42:00.000+10:00Haha, yes, indeed.

Back in my teens, I used to go ga-ga for some celebrities (I was a lemming...). Then I went to a military school where i had no tv, and no time for such frivolity. When I graduated, I found Lea Salonga's blog (via my cousin who's still in Calatagan) and that was when I really began to KAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03090582170365523716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18348841.post-29475860999755181092007-07-12T03:19:00.000+10:002007-07-12T03:19:00.000+10:00Hmmmm.
