Seeing the newly announced list of inductees for the New Jersey Hall of Fame, I found myself wishing I grew up in the Garden State. Wouldn't it be cool, I thought, to have been in a high school play with Meryl Streep, or to have sat next to Steven Van Zant, Debbie Harry, Frankie Valli, or Gloria Gaynor in music class! I did not have any such brushes with future greatness but YOU possibly HAVE! So in today's blog post, I'd love to know which WOBM listeners actually know some of these Hall of Fame inductees or any famous person.

My sister and I were among those who adored David Cassidy. We both recall the thrill of seeing him at Madison Square Garden wearing his white jacket with fringe on the arms. That was in the early 70s. And we both recall getting to see him in Atlantic City in the 90s. One of the perks of the DJ job is that I got to meet him after the show. He was friendly, personable, and seemed very happy to perform for and meet with his fans. Though gone now, he had a whole life of people saying how much they've loved him. It must feel amazing to know you've positively influenced so many people. What is it about musicians that makes such an impact on us? I feel a bit melancholy today because of the news of Cassidy's passing and also because this is the 20th anniversary of the death of Michael Hutchence of INXS.
