We should start a hashtag trend so we can concentrate names of our favorite stars and so we can follow any famous people we know of who are here.

Idk??? Something like

Etcetera ...
Let's be honest, most of us like to know the thoughts and opinions of the people whom we idolize. (If that's PC kosh)

@fatslothslim i don't idolize stars/celebrities. why would i? they're just people

@redenigma
Fair. I couldn't think of a better word and I knew some might have these exact thoughts. But it was just you.
As number 6 of 7 kids I found friends and family on tv and in the movies..

@fatslothslim my partner is the youngest of 8. he tends to watch more streaming than i do (which isn't hard because i don't, at all). but i'd guess that's more because i just don't care about tv/movies/pop culture. it's likely partly an autistic thing & partly not having time for passively being entertained because i'd rather read... we had a tv in the mid-50s which was somewhat rare, & the only part i found interesting was the tubes & wires... :)

@fatslothslim i do have a weird habit (for lack of a better word this early) of meeting celebrities of certain types, musicians, artists, writers, a couple actors. they really are just people

@fatslothslim what, of meeting people? i used to hang out with a couple bluegrass buskers on Boston Common, so i met several musicians that way. had lunch with Doc Watson and met Lester Flatt & Earl Scruggs (separately, it was after Foggy Mtn Boys broke up). i know, & am friends with, several comic artists/writers. (that's from taking 25 pound bags of cookies to comic cons. lol.). i worked on a low budget movie that had Cameron Mitchell as the star. he was creepy

@redenigma Yeah thats so interesting. I would have loved to see the foggy mountain live. I watch youtube with Scruggs.
I love the banjo and Steve Martin has put together an band.
I've only met a couple famous people. Working the Seattle hempfest, I met Woody Harlson.
I also met A sound Effects artist, Wes Harrison. That man intrigued me.

@fatslothslim my grandma played banjo. her family(brothers/sisters) had a band in the early 1900s that played around western PA/NY at weddings & barn dances, etc. mostly bluegrass & square dance

@fatslothslim i was sad my aunt sold the banjo in a yard sale after grandma died. i kinda wanted it.

@redenigma
Would have been nice for you to have it today huh?

@fatslothslim yes. Grandma died 2 months after her 102nd birthday.
i play guitar, so i think i could pick up banjo pretty easily

@redenigma
I always wanted to try but never have.
I'm a drummer.

@fatslothslim i have 2 bodhrans & a American Plains style drum (which is good for sorting wheat from chaff actually). i'm not very good at drumming, but i suspect it's mostly lack of practice.
a LOT of guitarists start with drums, you know...
