I met the current Austrian president Alexander Van der Bellen 8 years ago when he was still just a chain-smoking member of the Austrian parliament.

I was lucky enough to meet Twisted Sister (all of them!), Anvil, Robert Englund, Gates McFadden (dr beverly Crusher in Star Trek), Ronnie James Dio and Dutch TV presentor Astrid Joosten.

Alexander Van der Bellen (current Austrian president)
David Lynch
Al Green
Vinnie Colaiuta (under less pleasant circumstances

)
Herbie Hancock
Reggie Washington
Scott Henderson
Ravi Coltrane
Mike Stern
Various metal bands...

Most of them may not be "celebrities" but they're famous nonetheless.

Shook hands with the Beatles manager - Allan Williams.*

Michael Pallin (Monty Python) borrowed my pen to sign some autographs.

*My mother shook hands/chatted with Elvis Presley at the gates of Graceland in 1976.

I met Dave Gilmour and had lunch with him at a classic car racing day.

He was my all time hero - Floyd were the soundtrack of my yoof. You know, usual teenage angst bollocks - "wail, at least someone in the world understands me", and all that drivel

Frankly, he was a tool. Stereotypical "I'm a bored rock star, there is nothing left to impress me," vibe. Bloody rude too.

So, as they say, never meet your heros.

Nevertheless, Pink Floyd ARE still the greatest band to ever grace the earth, and now that I'm wracked with grumpy middle-aged angst, at least someone understands me...

A few weeks ago I went to a Star Trek convention and had the opportunity, which I did not pass up, to shake hands with both Walter Koenig, the original Chekov, and Rene Auberjonois, Odo from ST: DS9.
