A couple years back we are flying out of San Diego to Cabo....a freckle-faced guy is sitting across from us with a lady, and my wife and my buddy's wife keep Jabbering that guy is famous we know him. This goes on and on for about an hour. Well once we board the plane he walks by our seats and my buddy's wife jumps up and just blurts out..."you're famous, who are you?" And without skipping a beat he says " Bond, James Bond" and heads to his seat. My buddy's wife is totally confused, and then I figured it out....she just got punked by Shooter McGavin!!!

He’s up in arrowhead. I’m sure a few of the locals will tell their stories.

James bubba stewart lived down the street from me when I was in my early 20s. Cool guy, he already had a Lambo back then. Met Travis Barker a few times as well back when I was in HS but never really talked with him just said what's up.

I guess the best story was when I partied in Vegas with an older rockstar, this was about 10 years ago so I was pretty young. I had no clue who he was at the time. We just kept running into each other in the elevator all weekend and joked around. Ended up with me and my buddy doing a lot of blow in his room with some escort girl he had. I read up on him after, turns out he was claiming to be sober for a long time. I guess that was all BS. Because he had the best stuff I ever tried lol

Back in 1981 my (somewhat ex) GF had a roommate who grew up with Barry Williams. He came up to Sacramento to do a show at the Music Circus. We all went waterskiing on the Sacramento River. He showed up at the ramp in a Porsche 914-6. He taught me how to do a beach start. He was a pretty good water skier and preferred to use a wood Maharaja. He wouldn’t smoke on the boat because he didn’t want to affect his singing voice but he did roll up a fatti for my gf’s brother. Something I didn’t think I would ever see Greg Brady do.

More recently I was at the local Harley Dealer picking up a part for my bike. I noticed a really nice custom Road King in the parking lot. As I’m walking out I see a very familiar face. It was Bob Hannah. I talked to him and his wife for about 20 minutes. Really nice people. Turned out I knew the brother of the guy he was with. He keeps his Road King in California so he can fly in from Idaho and ride during the winter.
I've ran into a few, but because Barry Williams was mentioned, at the River, Echo Lodge bar Barry was in there and at that time I was running with the Rugby Club we terrorized him!! But I have to say he was a good sport .
