    My husband went to school with Zack Galafanakis but was two years ahead and friends with his brother. They called Zack "the annoying little shit". Now when Zack comes home he doesn't want to be treated like a star or asked for autographs and stuff. He just wants to enjoy the small town and relax.
    I also did community theatre. I met and worked with a wonderful old fellow named Clay Cory. He grew up around the Broadway and movie stars. He was very close to an actress Tallulah Bankhead when he was young. He called her Aunt Tallulah. He was wonderful to work with. I directed him in two shows. He performed "The Fantastics" musical in New York and then again for me in Wilkes County, NC. He also did "The Last Night Of Ballyhoo" for me and kindly allowed me to use The tea service from "Breakfast At Tiffany's" and an original print of the building of the Golden Gate Bridge as set dressing for the show. Freaked me out big time having such valuable memorabilia on my small town community theatre stage. Bless him I miss him.
    My husband also does all the jewelry cleaning and repair for Mrs. Flossie Johnson, the divorced and now widow of famed NASCAR racer and moonshine runner Junior Johnson. Wilkes County is a small community but we have an abundance of talented people from here.😀

    I have this sort of thing on a much smaller scale. My uncle is the pastor of our church and his 3rd and 4th oldest sons are the drummer and lead singers respectively in a band which doubles as the worship team for the small church they founded as a plant of our main one, with the 2nd oldest as their pastor. His younger kids are all girls adopted from Asia, one of whom is a rising star in local basketball and another of whom is a truly amazing artist. Most people who have been at the church for a long time (especially before I started working almost every sunday morning and basically had to stop coming) just think of me as [pastor's name]'s nephew or [mom]'s son. But, whenever someone fairly new finds out that I'm related to the head honcho, they think it's some amazing awesome thing and look at me with reverence, because... ?

    Old video, and not some major worldwide celebrity, but here in Israel there's a really famous singer named Shir Hadad. My mom happened to be in the same youth singing group when they were teens. My seriously hates her.
    First, she was apparently a really 'head-in-the-clouds' spacey type, but was also pretty dumb. She had a beautiful voice, but couldn't follow instructions or cues for the life of her.
    Second, she was apparently really clingy to people, especially to my mom's friend group. She practically stalked them whenever they got off practice, or constantly tried to insert herself in their group, despite her making everyone clearly uncomfortable. She kinda ended up like the groups puppy that wouldn't leave them alone.
    Third, and this was the thing that made my mom REALLY hate her; while near the end of their time in the singing group, Shir was dating this guy that ran a small time recording studio that did business with some record companies. This guy was also a mutual friend of my mom's. The entire time she was dating this guy, she was trying to convince him to help her record, that they could be partners and "how far they could go together". This guy really loved her, but it was obvious she was just using him to jumpstart her career. As my mom's friend, he also offered my mom the same thing and to help her get started, but my mom refused and and straight up told the guy Shir was just using him. He got upset with her for that, but they stayed mutuals.
    Well, about two years later when Shir finally gets a deal with a big record company, she dumps the guy and completely denies even knowing him, let alone the fact that he was the only reason she had a career at all.

    My trainer to get my CDL played in a band and played with Nirvana in the same bar over the weekend and they sat and watched each other. My trainer is a swinger but a really cool dude. I can't say much about Nirvana though

    12:50 I'm not a big fan of religion, but I do support the Pope, the guy seems like a great, positive change.
