Velvet Posted December 16, 2006 Report Share Posted December 16, 2006 I was discussing the following question last week: What is the yardstick for famous? Is Gord Sinclair famous?How about Gord Downie?Is Les Paul famous?I suspect the most famous person that knows my phone number would be Bob Wiseman. Which is cool, because he sure is famous to me.

weezy Posted December 16, 2006 Report Share Posted December 16, 2006 Mike Reno sang Rock And Roll (Led Zep) with us (Themasses) one night at the Media Club... He's goes out with my friends sister and comes out to our shows sometimes.I met Tori Spelling while walking my dog in Vancouver about 5 years ago. My dog went up to her and thrusted her nose into Tori's crotch and had a good sniff. My dog must have thought she was another dogs ass.If Fareed Haque is considered famous, then I know him too.. He has borrowed some of my guitar stuff a few times. He also joined us at the Bonfire Fest 2 years ago for our whole set. Nice guy, superhuman guitarist.I met Kim Mitchell a few times when working at a bar in Muskoka when I was younger.Jane Siberry came into my workplace a few weeks ago, she goes by a different name now so I didn't recognize her at first.I met Bob Weir at The Bumbershot Festival about 4 years ago, we walked and talked about Canada for a few minutes..

I thought of two more: - I met Don Cherry twice when I was younger. - I used to work for Michael Kaeshammer's sister, Jane, at a cafe in Golden. Michael came in once and I met him.

SaggyBalls Posted December 16, 2006 Report Share Posted December 16, 2006 I think it's curious how most of you had MET but only a few of you claim to actually KNOW recognizable names.I do dig the photos, but still very few admit to KNOWing...nice touch, Velvet. I think it's rad that Bob knows your number. that's close if not bang on.(hey...i just slag SCI without listening to them anymore. I don't claim to KNOW anybody more famous other Mary and even then we're not tiiight) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
