taking with Phyllis after reading her Sonny and Cher poem, we started going back over some times when we had celebrity encounters. I had three- Billy Joe Royal, Neil Diamond, and BJ Thomas. I was a teenager and had no fear.


Idol Sensations

Hey Billly Joe I liked your royal kiss
You were my first
And it was Heavenly Bliss

Sweet Neil with your diamonds all a glitter
I jumped your car
With my heart all a twitter

BJ Thomas you and I strolled along 
Your arm, my waist
I knew to you I belonged

Down in the Boondocks
Billy was my baby
Kentucky Woman
Neil offered me maybe
Raindrops fallin' on his head
B.J. turned my young face red

Memories and magical creations
Times in my life
Idol sensations

I really love how you put this together. It captures the excitement and thrill of being a young girl who was plucked out of the real world and dropped into the magic world of celebrity. It reminded me of another encounter I had. I danced with Wilson Pickett!! He asked someone in the audience who had enough soul to come dance with him so I did! I also had an encounter with Billy Jo Royal. I went to an after show party. He only hung around for a few minutes so I left. No kisses for me. He was with some scuzzy looking girl. I think you kissing Billy Joe Royal wins, the prize for best encounter with a famous person. Oh yeah, I also met Colonel Sanders. He just sat there licking his fingers! (He invented Kentucky Fried Chicken)
