I have met quite a few famous people so here is a list of highlights:

I had a friend, Rex, who used to work for a record label. We got backstage passes because of this, so from that I met:
Todd Rungren
Peter Gabriel
Phil Collins

Heather McAllister- I met her through a girl we both dated and we hit it off and became friends. Heather later because a famous fat activist and burlesque performer and was photographed by Leonard Nimoy.

Laurie Anderson, Performance artist- My friend Heather was very active in the queer community in Ann Arbor she came to a party I was at after her show.

Karen Finley, Performance artist- through my friend Heather in Ann Arbor

Leontyne Price - I was in a youth symphony and we rehearsed and played with her.

Itzhak Perlman- I was in a youth symphony and we rehearsed and played with him

Trent Rezner of 9 Inch Nails- My friend Tony opened for him before "Pretty Hate Machine" took off. He came to my house and threw up on my white floor pillow, ew.

Al Jourgenson of Ministry, Revolting Cocks etc. - we were at a party together and did tequila body shots off the same girl. heh that was a fun night

Dennis White of Charm Farm and now is DJ Static Revenger but he was just Dennis White when I knew him. He was close friends with my brother and so I saw him hanging about before and after they went carousing.

The ever popular stalking around backstage has yielded some interesting famous people meeting. . .
Nina Simone
Etta James
Ray Charles

Anise Parker, mayor of Houston- I met her for a moment at a political function

The Indigo Girls- , got thrown off their tour bus because my ex (the crazy Russian) offended one or the other of them.

I insulted Andy Bell of Erasure because he was a dick at a party I went to and I didn't know, or care, who he was. I do like their music though.

Buck Angel- had dinner with he and his wife Elayne. They were friends of a guy I used to date and were in town. I hadn't seen or even heard of any of his porn before we had dinner so I had no idea he was famous.
