Brushes With Fame
I think I’ve mentioned that I was high school friends with Glen Phillips of Toad the Wet Sprocket.
And another high school friend ended up being pretty darn famous, too.
Now it turns out that I once went to the movies with one of this season’s “Dancing With the Stars” contestants. Oh yes, little ol’ me went on a date with Chuck “the Iceman” Liddell.
I haven’t seen him since high school, but back then he wasn’t exactly dancing material. He was a wrestler and football player and I won a lot of money off of him during the 49ers Super Bowl winning season of 1986-87.
I’ve never watched “Dancing With the Stars”, but I think I’ll be tuning in this season. I think hot chocolate in my 49ers mug will be in order.
(yes, all 3 guys knew each other. I think the four of us were in the same honors English class as sophomores.)
