Ok I'll join the fun, I lived in AZ in the 80's and attended mesa community college and was a room service waiter while in school. The people I met during that time were....
#1-The band U-2....their josuha tree tour in 1987 started in Phoenix and the band stayed at the Pointe South Mountian resort where I worked. They came a week before the show and I met them all, the first time we met they were all together in Adam Claytons room and I brought some meals and some beers and we talked for a while. They asked where the hot spots were and I mainly pointed them to the bars along mill ave in tempe near asu and one cool pool hall that I liked. The next day in the paper it was reported that U2 showed at all the bars that I suggested. I have all their autographs. Bono was having throat problems and was kind of a dick, everyone else was cool.
#2-Willie Nelson, he ordered 2 hamburgers and 2 skim milks. when he opened the door all I could smell was weed.
He was so cool, got his autograph and he tipped GREAT!
#3- Muhammad Ali on a flight home for Christmas (mid 80's), had a stop in Chicago and as people got off and people got on I find myself sitting across the isle from the champ He was with his wife and young son. The flight attendants offered him a seat in first class while his wife and son stayed there, his son talked my ear off the whole flight and I played with the kid the whole way. He offered me his toy and he really wanted me to take it...can't remember what it was though. At the end of the flight his wife thanked me up and down for entertaining her son. For the life of me I can't remember his name.
#4-Alex Trebeck (jeopardy)
#5-James Garner
#6-Sally Fields
Oh and almost forgot Mark Gastinuea from the NY Jets!!
That's it for famous people!!
