Mary McKnight of RSSpieces sent me the blog chain letter and when Mary comes a callin…you better listen! Called a “meme” , which I never heard of until today is a blog posting that lets other people know details about you that you might not otherwise disclose on your blog.

Not the kind of info you normally find on the “About Me ” page of your site. This particular meme revolves around the number 8. There are 8 questions and I have to annoy or trather tag, 8 other bloggers to do this as well. Mary says that the number 8 is the infinity symbol as well as being her favorite number.

So to make sure that my eyelashes don’t fall out over night and to make sure I don’t grow anoter ear or something, I am complying with this meme request.

1. Who is your favorite musical artist?

If you don’t know who Klause Meine is then you have’nt lived to rock. This was a toss up between The Boss (Bruce Springsteen), Angus Young from AC-DC, and my favorite, Klause Meine and the best rocking band in the world, The Scorpions! Yes, I live to bang my head. By the way, I have met all of them on more than one occasion. So be jealous!

No they are’nt gay! Not that there is anything wrong with that. It was the 90′s dude..give them a break.

2. Who is your favorite artist
You’re kidding right? You know I stand when I pee right? Ok…Andy Warhol. Satisfied. Now you want me to go get a picture somewhere.

3. Who is your favorite blogger?
The Godinator! Seth Rules. I’m still ticked off that Mike Lefebvre got to meet him!

 4. If you could meet anyone (alive or dead), who would it be and what is the most interesting thing about them?
Alright, besides the obvious (Jesus Christ), I would have to say Warren Buffett. I just want an hour or so to pick the brain of this genius. Then we can kick back, have a few drinks and then i can really get to know him.

5. What did you want to be when you grew up?
Easy one, an architect followed in a VERY close second place by being a lawyer. Boring but true.

6. What is the most interesting piece of trivia you know?
Are you kidding me? I am a trivia pursuit champion. Pick one..I dunno…ok here’s one. Carly Simon’s song You’re So Vain has actually two trivia aspects to it. Singing background on the song is none other than Mick Jagger (whom she was schtupping) and the subject of the song was Warren Beatty, (whom she was schtupping).

A bonus third aspect of trivia is that the album on which You’re So Vain was released came out the month she got while married to James Taylor..how’s that! Carly was a busy girl in 1972 wasn’t she?

7. If you could live in any point in history what would it be and why?
I’m all about the present…and the future. There wasn’t much use for a brother back in the day if you know what I mean. But all things being equal, The roaring 20′s might have been a lot of fun. they knew how to party!

8. What is the most interesting job you have ever held?
I used to be on the road as security for Van Halen, Aerosmith and Foghat to name a few…now there’s some stories, but one gig I really liked was a special assignment when I was a roided out, extra large, scary, football player type, to be Howard Cosell’s bodyguard at the Preakness. Now that was fun.

Ok, so how this works I am told is that I have to infect 8 other unsuspecting souls…so here they are:

Broker Bryant
Cyndee Haydon
Mickey Fever
Hunter Jackson
Bob Stewart
Brian Brady
Greg Swann
Sean Purcell
