I just came back from the gym today, and this older guy noticed the guitar shirt I had on and asked if I play guitar (2nd time that's happened somewhere with this shirt). I said yeah, and he asked me if I knew who Scott Stapp was. I said yeah, and he said that Scott Stapp is his nephew. He then said that he saw him at a concert at the Amway Arena.

I also remember years ago, while on a field trip, while we were riding past my old church, one of my friends said that Scott Stapp used to go to that church. I never found out whether this was true or not, either. It is true that he went to high school and college in Orlando (which is about 30 min. from my old church and almost an hour extra from where I live now), but it makes me wonder if this is true or people just make stuff up, like myths, just because since they know where he's from, they take the information a step further and make up fantasies about it.

I don't know what to believe, or if I should even believe anything at all.  :P ;D

The story of collective human experience, isn't it?

Haha, something like that.
I probably just shouldn't believe anything at all. I don't have enough information, and people can say anything.

It depends. Did he offer you any candy?   ;)

You meet those people all the time. They have no other worth so they have to cling to the idea that they're connected in some way with a minor celebrity (minor so as to be believable), or someone so long dead it would be impossible to prove they're wrong. I knew someone in elementary school who would never shut up about John Wilkes Booth supposedly being her great-great-(great?)-uncle. A woman at work claims she's related to Dennis Hopper. Another says Eminem is her third cousin. A friend of my brother claims he's related to John Dillinger.

      A person trying to enhance his self-worth with Creed-associations? ??? The world must be a worse place than I thought...
