No doubt about it!
I had never heard of this guy until just now and thanks to you, but this is REAL country, not the country pop of today. I did a cursory search on him, and he dates way back to the golden days of country music. -

Here's another video, one song, from a couple of CDs later (I think sometime before '05 and sometime after 9/11). That lady used to like to change her hair around; I don't know if she still does.

As far as the Car wheels On a Gravel Road CD, I did a search and it was a Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Folk Album she got. -

Townes Van Zandt (dead). Another one who never got as famous as he should have, but another great song writer that many famous folks got songs from.
And I'd like to meet Willie Nelson (alive for now) who recorded Pancho And Lefty which Townes wrote. -

Here's one more.
I am actually thinking that you will get a kick out of this one.
It is not Lucinda; this is Steve Earle performing a song, live, in the late '80s or very early '90s, and the reason I think you'll get a kick out of it is that this was back when he was a pure party animal (heroin and coke) and it seems quite obvious that before he came back out to do this encore, he and the boys were back stage getting crazy for coca puffs

Linda Ronstadt, Steve Martin, Bruce Springsteen, Jackson Browne and (although most would not consider him famous) Terry Allen (all of whom I think are still alive).
Jim Croce (dead).
At one time I admired John Elway (alive) and I suppose I might have thought it would be interesting to meet him, but I don't really feel that way anymore.
Mick Foley would be an interesting guy to meet.
Ric Flair might be an interesting guy to meet.
(I think both are still alive, but the latter is probably on borrowed time.)
I did meet Troy Martin (aka Dean Douglas aka Shane Douglas) a few times at a gym I used to lift at, and there was nothing particularly memorable that I can think of about meeting him. Years before that, I would regularly run into the much less famous Jerry Price at a different gym, and I way preferred him over Mr. Martin.
Dave Passanella (dead) would have been on my list, and Gary Heisey (who I believe is also dead) would be on my list.
I have more respect now for Arnold Schwarzenegger now than I did when he was in his athletic prime, but I cannot say that I have any desire to meet him. But maybe I'd have to think some more about that. -

I'd also add Vladimir Nabokov (dead) to my list.
I saw a Bill Maher interview of John Mellencamp, and I think Mellencamp (alive) would be a fun guy to meet.
Samuel Jackson and Lawrence Taylor perhaps (both still alive). -

CNN shows his hourly program on Saturday nights. I agree with you about the guests and that's why I tune in, but I could do without his comedy shtick segment. Usually I don't watch that segment anymore. I can live with his monologue, but the 4th segment where he does his choreographed routine is time that could be spent with interesting guests. After his opening interview guest, he used to have a panel of three followed by one special guest near the end of the show. He cut it to two panel guests and no finishing guest, I suppose, so he could tell more jokes.
