    They're "noise canceling headphones". Guaranteed to cancel all noise.

    It's all in how you phrase it. :)

    Pete Rose is one social fella. I think he appears the most in this thread.

    I've met him as well! :lol: He does a boat load of appearances as he's trying to gain public support to be reinstated into baseball.

    Joe DiMaggio (months before he passed away, he was at a golf course)

    Jerry Rice (at a golf course)

    Arnold Palmer (he autographed a golf ball, something he rarely does because it takes him so long. Got to meet him at a golf dinner)

    George Brett (got to go to his house in Palm Springs, we discussed pine tar :)

    DeSean Jackson (Apple store)

    Sam Beam (Iron and Wine) met him in Dublin near Temple Bar.

    Christopher Lloyd (at a bar in Santa Barbara)

    Pete Rose
    Kate Beckinsale
    Tiger Woods
    Kevin Love
    Santa Claus
    I'm sure there are more...

    What's crazy is I have never met any of my favorite musicians or athletes. :(


    You sold Stevie Wonder some IPads?

    He buys them for friends and family. He showed up to the store once and wanted to listen to different speaker systems. He brought in his own iPod and played unreleased Michael Jackson material. It was pretty bad ass. Probably one of the nicest guys ever.

    I wasn't doubting you at all. It's just ironic and read where the rest of the thread went. :thumbup:

    that's because he is the man. he has zero to prove to anyone.
    he's getting to be a older gentleman all chillaxin badass style.

    i'd love to talk with Mr. Led Zep
    dude's somethin' else

    if mr. robert plant was in a stadium sitting in a chair reading and minding his own business
    whilst jesus h christ himself was across the street resting in a chair inside another stadium
    whose stadium would fill quicker?

    that's the league of this guy. pretty much out of this world i'm guessing.

    My other half and I were hanging out at The Deck @ Trump Marina in Atlantic City when Vince Neil walked in. At first, we thought it was just a look-alike...but other people were going up and saying hi so we asked someone and they said it was really him. I went over to talk to him...and he was totally hammered. I had seen Motley Crue on their tour the year before when Samantha Maloney from Hole filled in. So I kind of yelled in his ear (the music was really loud), "What did you think of Samantha Maloney?" And he goes, "You want to blow me?" :roll: :lol: Anyway, then he said that she was great and all but that she'd never tour with them again 'cause she was fucking Nikki and his wife found out, lmao! My husband tried to buy him a shot of tequila but he declined cause he was drinking grey goose. We ended up hanging out at the bar for awhile, listening to stories of drunken debauchery. Then his girlfriend/wife (boobs on a stick) came in and got him a big glass of water, lol. He got up on stage and did a song too. It was pretty cool.

    Other than that...well, I got to shake Ed's hand after the Philly show last month!
