I mean a REAL rock star! I grew up in Ferriday where Jerry Lee Lewis, Mickey Gilley and the Rev. Jimmy Swaggart did. I personally know the Lewis and Gilley families. Jerry Lee is about 10 years older, but his sister Linda Gayle is my age. I went to high school with her.

Another weird meeting I had was on an airplane. Sometimes in the late '80's, I was traveling from Minneapolis/St. Paul to DFW on a Friday night and the band The Cure was on the flight. I sat by the bass guitar player. They were headed to Houston for a show. This was before they were big. I had no clue who they were until some of the younger passengers kept asking for autographs. I then struck up a conversation with the bass player (don't remember his name).

How about you? Any stories to pass along??
