Who is your all-time favorite artist?
This is one of the most difficult questions I have ever been asked. The reason is that I love all music. From Motown to Disco, Rock, Hip-Hop, R&B and easy listening. It may be much easier to pick by the decades but If I had to pick one, just one, I guess I have to go with Billy Joel. Since I was a kid I’ve listened to all his music. Thanks to my dad. Who by the way, was the biggest musical influence in my life. I guess I was lucky enough to grow up in the 80’s being exposed to music from the 60s, 70s, 80, 90’s and today. When I was a kid everyone loved music and everyone wanted to be on the radio. It’s pretty cool living out a dream!
In a past life, I’m pretty sure I was:
In my past life I may have been a comedian or a court jester. I just love to make people laugh and feel better. Seeing a smile on someone’s face is one of the things in my life, I really love. Seeing someone or their family having a good time is awesome to see, knowing they may remember that time in their lives forever.
What is your funniest childhood memory?
Well the funniest story in my life, one that my brothers and I talk about all the time, is when my younger brother and I were about 10. That would make him 9. Back then in the 80’s everyone loved Michael Jackson. My brother thought he was so cool as my mom bought him a red plether Michael Jackson jacket. Yes, the one with all the zippers on it. My Nana lived just a block away and we walked there all the time numerous times a day. Sometimes as a kid you just don’t notice things. On this one summer day, my brother and I got dressed and started down the hill to Nana’s house. I am in shorts and a tee-shirt and my brother in his new MJ jacket. When we reached my Nana’s house she started yelling at my brother and we had no idea why. I mean look, it wasn’t out of the norm for my brothers to be getting yelled at…lol. My Nana kept yelling, Brian where are your pants….where are your pants! I looked over at him and he had on that jacket, a tee-shirt, his tube socks and canvas sneakers but……..no pants or shorts just his tighty whities. I never laughed so hard in my entire life.
To this day we still talk about it. How could he have forgotten his pants and still walked there but now we talk about how I didn’t notice. I WAS 10!!!! HAHA
Have you ever had an imaginary friend?
I never had imaginary friends……with all the voices in my head, there was no room for anyone else. LOL
What was your favorite song in Middle School?
My favorite middle school song was anything by Def Leppard or any song I could dance to.
Would you rather fight 1 elephant sized rabbit or 100 rabbit sized elephants and why?
This is easy and if I had to It would be 1 elephant sized rabbit. I won’t tell you why as I may offend someone but it’s much easier going 1 on 1 than 100-1.
If you had a time machine and could go to one place, but there is a 50% chance you get stuck there. Where would you go and why?
This is another easy question. I go back in time and visit with my dad. He passed at the age of 49 and even though I got to see him that day, it was unexpected and I never had the chance to say thank you for making me the man I’m today. He’s been gone for almost 26 years now but if given the chance, I’d sit with him for days, just to talk. If I got stuck….everyone in the present would understand…Maybe
What movies are must watch for you when they come on?
What movie do I have to watch every time it’s on the tube…….Goonies……these are the kids we were growing up.
Favorite album or concert…all time, or within the last year or so
My favorite concerts are, Wow, I’ve been to a few in my life so far but I’ll try to narrow a few of them down…
Tom Petty 6 times
Def Leppard 5 times
Billy Joel row 5…..I could have tossed him my boxers..lol
One of my favorite concerts was going to see Def Leppard, Poison, Tesla and Joan Jett with my wife on our first date. SHE ROCKS!!!
