Have you ever been personal friends with a seriously famous person?

In Torrance? My former boss used to sit outside their garage and listen to them play.

Friend of mine is Michael Phelps' best friend. Grew up together, best man at his wedding. Goes to the Olympics worth the entourage. They have a good friendship, he's a solid guy that really loses his way without swimming.

We were so excited when he was in Nirvana. When he lived here about 20 years ago, we’d go to his house in Alexandria for bbq. He’s still a cool guy. Haven’t talked to him in years though...

His Mom still owns the family home in North Springfield. Occasionally there is a sighting...

For all the people who are going to say they don't know who they are, use Google.

And yes, I knew who Dee Snyder was - I'm 41 and I had the record when I was a little girl.

Please tell Gary that his Insta of Prince George is ON FIRE!! From a SAHM twitter follower in NoVa!

Brad had to talk him into starting Instagram - it's the best thing ever. I just explained his Prince George schtick to my daughter.
I am actually closer with Brad than Gary. Brad will NEVER say a bad word about how Rachel Zoe treated him. He's like the best Canadian ever.

NP. I've never heard of Twister Sister.

if not...are you from the US? did you grow up here?

NP here. Never heard of the singer or the band either. Born and raised in Virginia. Age 38.

Alright you're atypical, that is a very famous song, used in a lot of commercials/sporting events etc

+1
Extremely atypical. I'm a 40 year old black woman (so not their target demographic) and I've heard of Twisted Sister. They aren't some obscure band.

Maybe because it's Twisted, not Twister, Sister.

My Aunt grew up around the corner from Penny Lane in Liverpool. Her sister was friends with John and Paul.

I know his IG account, but why is he famous? He has fewer than 200K followers.

I'm finding the George/Megan Markle memes a bit repetitive at this point.

I also think his MM memes are really off-kilter. They were funny at first, but what's he got against her? I like that she's actually doing good work, even charity work they're even married!, instead of sitting back and popping out kids. I also like that her hair is artfully toused and she's not got a professional hairstylist on stand-by for every single outing.

Super attenuated but my former boss's uncle was the physician recruited by the CIA to track down Bin Laden. Very trivial but I thought it was cool.
