    My uncle lived down the street from The Boss and Bon Jovi, seen them around the town, but never talked to them (I was a kid and they are very private men).

    I met all the guys from CKY including Phil, Ape, Ryan Dunn, Chris Pontius, Johnny Knoxville, and Wee man.

    The day before i left for basic training I met Donovan McNabb in the locker room in the tempe lifetime fitness. We bull shitted for about 20 minutes. He was a real cool dude. We didnt talk football until Anquon Bolden came over and interrupted.

    And last but not least I met Queen Latifa in the East Brunswick guitar center. Very nice woman, and she knows her music.

    ...I did meet Chris2x4 once :p
