Famous people on the cb?

[bushwacker]

Just wondering if anyone has ever talked to anyone famous on the cb over the years-- I've hear a few stories-- one that comes to mind is a guy I know talked to Johnny Cash back in the early 80's-- he was driving down the highway talking to the driver of Johnny Cash's bus-- after talking for many a mile the driver told him who was on the bus-- since they were in the same vicinity my friend was actually able to see the bus-- long story short Johnny Cash came on the mic for a minute.
I've heard a couple of stories like this from the old timers.
Back in the 80's a local in my city actually was able to get ahold of Jack Cruesto's (spelling?) boat the Calipso out on the Pacific ocean -- Jack Cruesto wasn't on board but he did talk to the first mate of the boat for quite a while on the vertical side of his Lazer.
I've heard others but these ones I don't doubt and think they are true.

Just wondering if anyone else out there has any stories about talking to anyone famous on the CB?

CORRECTION--- just talked to my buddy in town and he didn't talk to the captain of the Calypso-- he talked to the first mate-- so I just made that correction in the post-- it was the first mate he talked to not captain

The father and son of Orange County choppers.They were south on 77 thru NC going down fancy gap.I got on the radio and told paul sir,to stop giving his boys such a hard time.He had a few choice words for me(he's a trip!) and not to long after his son got on and said "he's really not that bad".One of the Judds in Kanas city and a few of the members of Alabama got on the radio while there driver was putting fuel in the bus at a truck stop and sang us a Christmas song,(i got stuck out and did not make it home that year)i think that was IL.

I wonder if any of those Orange County Choppers guys are regulars on the radio? Like if they have radios in some of their travelling rigs or daily drive vehicles-- i guess they travel quite a bit

I know a local ham that insists that he talked to the Queen of England in the 70's and got a QSL card.

this doesn't count, but there is a local here that is the step father of a sort-of famous acter. he raised him since he was a kid though so he is more of a father.

John Corbett

Never heard him on a CB. never will!

not on topic but there a quite a few famous hams. Marlon Brando was one, (now deceased) and King Hussein of Jordan was quite active (now deceased). Many others

Lineareone,
Well as much as I'd like to say that it is..... unfortunately it's not. That truck belongs to a guy in NJ the truck has some awesome detail work on it I've seen pics of it when he bought it new and had it all torn apart. I had a Peterbuilt something simular to that when I ran the coast and a stainless steel trailer like that also. You live by Rock Tavern thats cool to bad Paul and the boys act like that.... they got a real good thing going there. I like the Avatar!!!!

Bushwacker,
What's with that Avitar ?

 

[bushwacker]

its from a movie-- Maximum over drive or something-- or some movie like that-- i usually use it on all the muscle boards or wherever I belong to-- not usually on any cb boards I belong to-- I been using it for years and I just realised that these flash type avatars can be used here--
Its not real, just a movie clip
I can change it if it really bothers anyone and go back to the Godzilla avatar
