I met Carole King once when I was working at a bookstore, only I didn’t realize it was her until months later. An elegant older woman came to the checkout desk with a stack of books, and when she handed me her card I said “like the singer.” In a melodious voice she replied, “yes, like the singer.”

A few months later, I saw a video of her online and realized whom I’d been talking to. I’m so relieved I didn’t know it was her at the time; I would probably have made an ass of myself.

Oh wow! You probably made her day tbh, I think famous people really enjoy encounters like that. (Like Dolly Parton entering her own lookalike contest…)

I hope she was buying good books, anyway!
