I was also speaking to Bobbie Brown today' I've known her for about a year. Though she was in Flash Gordon, she is mainly "Theatre Darling"

Also mets: Mariah Aiken, Lesley Philips and Simon Williams. If those names mean anything to you guys.
People are really just people and famous people are those doing a famous job.

I knew him a couple of years after the HAIR!! As for Bobbie - she's not quite so good looking at the age of 65 but she is an absolute scream, and has a very cheeky sense of humour.

Re: ~ Has Anyone Here Had A Brush With Greatness? ~
I've met quite a few 'famous' people. But it's almost been like "Forrest Gump" for me (very serendipitous) and I get the impression that when or where I've mentioned some, others are or may be dubious. My brother too has met many but often comes across as namedropping and so I feel even more odd to bother saying anything unless its brought up in context.

But it just made me realize how funny it is for those who are religious and claim to have spoken or seen their god. Next time someone says they know Jesus, for instance, I'll have to remember to flip out in extreme awe of them and ask if they got an autograph!!

Do these count?
> I attended a retreat and got to dance with Pir Vilayat Inayat Khan (head of the Sufi order in the West)... one of the most visually illuminated people I've ever seen.
> Oh, and I also got to dance down the streets of Telluride, Colorado right between Mickey Hart and Baba Olatunji and his Nigerian drummers, right after a Grateful Dead show.
But I still think greatness is in all... and everywhere.

No no! I'm referring to the fact that I'm using my actual name online and so prefer my personal information not be potentially used. In person I don't mind, though.vegetariantaxidermy wrote:Why?

P.S. You'll be surprised though that even in forums like these, you'd likely come across one or two people every now and then without knowing!!

I'm not famous. ....yet? [Perhaps if I get my physics theory done and published. But even then, the way things tend to go with things like science and philosophy, many of them get their recognition long after they've been dead.]vegetariantaxidermy wrote:I didn't think about it being your real name.

I see that Leslie Phillips is still alive at 92 and got married three years ago!Hobbes' Choice wrote: Screen Shot 2016-07-20 at 21.52.48.png
As for Bobbie - she's not quite so good looking at the age of 65 but she is an absolute scream, and has a very cheeky sense of humour. You can imagine the Double entendres in sculpture!

Lumme! I heard he hated being asked to do that phrase in public.
Hello! Just noticed that we share the same birthday, along with Adolf.
