Jay Lenno is generous. Seal is kind. Larry King is a doting father, especially when his children shed tears. Justin Timberlake likes to play golf. Kelly Clarkson is bubbly and Reese Witherspoon is even prettier in person than on film.
But, of all the celebrities I've flown, the only time I was nervous was when I had to pick up Sir Paul McCartney from Sedona, AZ. Given his place in music history, could the stakes be any higher? I think not!
So, of course, crazy thoughts permiated across my mind while we were taxiing. If "Bambi" bounds across the runway, at the worst posssible moment leading to our deaths, it will at the very least:
1-Be world news.
2-Be a huge windfall for the city of Sedona.
3-A monument will be erected near where he died.
4-Groupies from the world over will come annually to pay homage to McCartney and his memory.
5-Hotel expansions will follow.
6-Gift shops will expand.
7-Cheap mementos will inundate tourists bags & pockets.
8-More trash, congestion, blight & bar fights will surley follow and finally,
9-My own inenviable place in history.
