    Bob Seger nodded his head at me when we drove past him back in the 80s. Cheers!

    Danny DeVito's body guard tried to punch me because I was following Danny DeVito around while doing my Jim Ignatowski impression. Cheers!

    Mr. Kellyopie would always give me extra arrows when I went to his archery range. Mr. Kellyopie was the piano/organ player on the Bozo the clown show (the one filmed in Windsor Ontario). Cheers!

      Actors Matthew Modine, LL Cool J back in the late 1990s, and Carl Anthony Payne II in 2012.
      When he was running for governor of California, Gavin Newsome showed up at my workplace on a campaign stop. As I was leaving the building for lunch, he and his entourage were passing through the lobby. Some people were slobbering all over him, I barely looked in his direction.  He saw me and seemingly brightened up, as if he thought, (((There’s a Black man, he must be someone who will vote for me!))) He then tried to glad-hand me, I just snubbed him.

    (EDIT: I'm reposting my reply to you -- I thought I had posted it as a reply to you but it's posted as a separate answer.)

    Modine, Cool J and Payne II  -- very brief statements there, ha!  :) Especially in comparison to Newsome's story, ha. It's all good, though.  :)

    Thanks for stopping by on one of my few questions!

    Jenny kiss’d me when we met,
    Jumping from the chair she sat in;
    Time, you thief, who love to get
    Sweets into your list, put that in!
    Say I’m weary, say I’m sad,
    Say that health and wealth have miss’d me,
    Say I’m growing old, but add,
    Jenny kiss’d me.

    Yes . . . THAT Jenny

    I had no idea what this was- - figured it was a song and it was.

    Mayor Bill Deblasio (hizzoner) and Chirlane McCray live in my neighborhood, and I ran into and chatted with them on the street one day a few years ago. When I lived in Manhattan in the late 1980s, I met then-MLB pitcher Ron Darling as we were leaving a movie theater. I have maintained an on-and-off friendship with not-quite-so-famous ex-MLB outfielder, writer, and radio color commentator Billy Sample since 1992.

    And I forgot to mention that in 1975 when I was 15, the Secret Service scene in Taxi Driver was filmed around the corner from my house. I stopped to watch, standing a few feet away from Robert DeNiro, and was on camera for about a minute. The scene can be viewed on YouTube.

    Yes, I think you shared that awhile ago on the site, I think. Because I'm sure I watched it. Or maybe it was a still image you shared. Nice!

    Good God. And after she told me she was the only guy she ever hugged. Tsk! Women - can't live with them, can't kill them and be done with it, not without having to endure a long spell in clink afterwards.

    Valerie Harper touched my arm and said 'excuse me' as she moved through a crowd of people watching filming for the intro to the 'Mary Tyler Moore Show'.

    Are you saying you were in and/or watched the filming of  the downtown scenes in the opening credits for "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" TV show? That kicks ass. :)
