There is a very finite list of people that everyone would know. I'm 29 and someone who would be immediately recognizable to my age range someone who is 50+ will have no idea. Shoot, even think about athletes. I'm sure there are people on these forums who would need explained who LeBron James or Lionel Messi is.
With that said, last December Bill Clinton was at DCA and I snuck down and got a photo with him at the convenience store across from Grille District.
