Have you ever met any celebrities? The Righteous Brothers have always been my favorite celebrities. I was friends with the head of security at Harrah’s back in the 80’s, when I worked in Reno and I was fortunate to be invited to go along to meet them and see the charity event. I do believe they are the only celebrities that I have ever shaken hands with and it was one of the highlights of my existence at the time.

I was amazed at how calm I was and was quite pleased that I didn’t act all goofy and gushy because after all they were my favorites. It didn’t matter that I hadn’t thought to take a camera to get a picture with my hero’s it was enough for me to just meet them. I’ve been to many different concerts over the years, but never cared enough about any of the performers to actually want to shake hands with them.

I always regret that I never actually got to see Elvis in person or concert though because I’m sure it would have been phenomenal, but he was never my hero like the Righteous Brothers. For all you Elvis fans I know I’m strange, but to each their own. Over the years I can’t tell you how many Righteous Brothers records and cassettes that I have worn out and I still have a few to go.

I felt really bad about Bobby Hatfield’s death in 03, but Bill Medley was always my favorite or rather his voice. Have you ever meet an idol from your youth? I have met different politicians, but I certainly don’t consider them in the same way and I have never idolized any of them. I can’t say that I ever fantasized about Bill Medley, but all of their music played during memorable parts of my life and I fantasize about that, the music and memories.
