Funny Spike Lee story. Years (ok, ages) ago my wife and I were walking on a street in Manhattan. It was late Fall/early Winter cold, getting dark, and the street was empty. Who is walking toward us, but Spike Lee. We stop and say "Hey, Spike Lee, we're big fa...." He scowls at us and just hurrys past.
Years later my wife has one of Spike's nephews in her class. She tells the nephew the story, as more of a funny one than anything else. He begins to apologize, but she tells him not to worry, she understands, his uncle probably gets stopped on the street all of the time, no biggie.
Couple of days later, Spike Lee shows up at her classroom to apologize personally. He could not have been nicer and more genuine.
