Celebrities I Know

I've worked with a lot of celebrities over the years. Or more accurately, I've worked with a lot of people who share their name with really famous people:

Andy Williams
Dick Clark
Sheryl Crow
Tom Petty

I could almost form a band.

None of them are anything like their more famous namesakes, and they always seem to hate being introduced to new people. There's always some kind of joke or smart-ass comment involved, followed by an eyeroll and a sigh, like "how many frickin' more times in my life do I have to hear the same lame comment about how I don't look anything like Dick Clark (or Andy Williams or Sheryl Crow)?" Tom Petty gets really tired of being asked how the Heartbreakers are doing.

I've known them all so long that I tend to forget the celebrity link, but I'm reminded every time the introduction scene repeats itself. After watching that so many times, I'm a little more satisfied with my generic boring name.
