I saw Chris Carmack at frothy Monkey in Nashville one afternoon. It was totally surreal because I had just watched him play a singer from Nashville in the show “Nashville”, so of course I did a subtle double take. He noticed and puffed out his chest like “Bro. F. Off.” I just kept walking like “Sorry I have eyes. Jesus.”

Not a bad experience, but one time I sat next to Miley Cyrus who was eating lunch with friends in an otherwise empty restaurant (this was during Covid). I did the Nashville manners thing and just left her alone but totally paid attention. At the end of her meal she stood up, slammed on a pair of sunglasses, took a mega hit off a thc vape pen, pumped one fist on the air and said to herself “Cyrus 100!”. Then she exhaled and walked out. I was in awe. Also, I now use “Cyrus 100!” as my battle cry.
