Did any of you grow up with someone who is now Famous?

What about being related?

DC Talk

Anyone heard of the Christian rock band called "DC Talk"? My cousin was, at one point, the keyboard player for that group. He then left and started his own Christian Rock group called Zilch.

My friend Barney's distant cousin is Bob Dylan, and his mother told us she distinctly remembers being with him at extended family get togethers during childhood.
Of course, as I've stated on here before, I grew up with many famous people around me, even though they were not my personal friends. My father was Kiss' business manager from 1973-1980, and was also the friend and accountant of Michael Cimino, who directed the Deer Hunter, which won the Academy award in 1978. In addition, he was fraternity brothers with singer Paul Simon at Queens College, and went to the same high school as both Simon and Art Garfunkel, Forrest Hills High in Queens. Of these people mentioned, I never met either Simon or Garfunkel, but my mom met Simon once when my father ran into him on a plane in the 70s. I knew Kiss and Cimino quite well personally, accompanying my father to Kiss concerts, and Cimino's house and apartment. I would say I grew up with both Kiss and Cimino in my life, as I would say that having these people in your home for a business and social gathering when you're a young boy, would qualify as "growing up" with them, even though they were clients of my father's and not personal friends of mine.

Ann B Davis, Lime, very cool indeed. I saw her once as I was getting off a plane at the Denver airport. I didnt get an autograph, just happened to see her in the distance in the airport. Funny lady.

"My aunt said that Bobby Rydell was a dirtbag who married his high school sweetheart and cheated on her pretty much from day one."



I saw Bobby Rydell on some fundraiser TV show in Philly not long ago. He has the most repulsive smile I've ever seen on a man...the kind of smile you expect to see on used car salesmen, televangelists, and the members of the club in charge of The Money. His philandering certainly doesn't shock me.

And yes, Fabian. I remember seeing him on a taping of the old Mike Douglas show. It was like interviewing Jethro Beaudine Clampett.
