Probably Eric Johnson. A few times.

Chuck Norris at Office Max my freshman year

Didn't Dave Grohl serve you BBQ?

That would be tough to beat.

Meh, the Dallas mayor has always seemed a little milquetoast and boring to me.

As a huge Beatle fan... Ringo Starr!

***** I knew I was forgetting someone big. He actually did twice. Once at Dimebag's house and once in Cali.

EVH and JPJ are monster big. Godzilla big. But did they serve you BBQ?

Talked to Drew Brees for 15-20 minutes 10 years ago. Guy really wanted to be an Aggie.

Emory Bellard, RC, Jackie, Spike. All great guys.

Bellamy Brothers before a concert. My favorite country group.

Lt Dan in Iraq. He was there for an event but my mission went long (TIC) so I figured I missed it. He was leaving and i said sorry I missed you and I missed chow then he just sat down and we visited for sometime. Such a cool guy. I gave him my flight patch.

Not super famous but Carter Beauford and Victor Wooten when I was in high school. Not at the same time but at the same convention.

Victor Wooten was teaching a clinic and a friend and I stayed back to ask some questions. We ended up jammin' with him for a solid 2 hours and he didn't care that he was lightyears beyond our skills.

Carter Beauford walked into a sound proof cymbal test room while I was drumming and trying out some new cymbals I had no chance of affording. He's one of my top 2-3 favorite drummers and who I model my play style after the most, so it was definitely a case of meeting your hero at that age. He was extremely down to Earth and approachable.

Brittany Howard in the TSA line at Nashville Airport.

I'd say Dave Ramsey while doing our debt free scream on his radio show but not sure he qualifies as cool. We think he's cool.

Well, the criteria was cool to you, so it doesn't matter if it's cool to me.

Tough call between:

Eddie Van Halen
John Paul Jones
Lenny Kravitz
Steven Tyler

Oh, yeah. Met this guy named Michael Jordan once was I was a kid too.

---

just on music, I'd go with John Paul Jones. On coolness, maybe Steve Tyler depending on how he acted. either one would be legendary.

---

They all were cool. Eddie was super quick and he didn't really say much but it was a huge thrill for me to shake his hand. Jonesy chatted the longest. Tyler was joking around with me which was fun. Kravitz was such a sweet guy. He just oozed rock star more than any of them but didn't act like he was better than anyone in the room.

Probably the coolest famous person was Robert Gates. When I was at A&M, we had a cookout during an away game in Spence Park. We went over and knocked on his front door and invited him over. About 30 minutes later, he came out and was very engaging with us.

That's a totally different kind of cool.

I met Sean Connery one time when I was a little boy. He was walking down the street as was my family. Taking the opportunity I walked up to him and said, "Mr. Connery! You were great in The Last Crusade!" He without hesitation or a loss in step looked at me and said, "**** off little boy!" We all laughed as he ambled down the street. That dude is a G!

That would've been neat. If you're a Letterman fan, I did meet Rupert G and eat in the Hello Deli. The sandwich was really good and cheap compared to other Times Square options. And Rupert was nice.
