31. I chatted with Ray Manzarek (of the Doors) for about 15 minutes
one day. I was eating a piece of cheesecake and he was just sitting in the area where this restaurant sold the cheesecake. We just started talking. I had no idea it was him (he was appearing at Cicero's <a bar in St Louis> and I had tix too)..
He is very nice and intelligent. I think we discussed politics. This was in the early 90s.
My other brush with "greatness" involves the author James von Praagh...I was working at a newsstand in Clayton, MO and this guy comes in to buy several copies of the Sunday New York Times..he's excited and says "I'm on the best seller's list." I had no idea who he was so he told me he was James Von Praagh and that he had friends in St Louis.
