3 is the lie
WTF? I am repeating myself? LOL Yes, you're right. I ve never met Joe Hill. I did have a nice conversation with a local merchant while there, though.
I was indeed an extra in Rumble Fish. It happened quite on accident. I was about 10 or 11 and had long hair. I was with my dad and we accidentally turned down a wrong street and into a shoot. My dad recognized Francis Ford Coppola and we parked and went over to see what was going on. Coppola liked my look and asked if it was OK if I stood in a background of a scene. And Voila! I was in Rumble Fish.
Vince Neil played a somewhat infamous solo gig here in Tampa in 2007. He was so drunk and high he was stumbling, incoherent, slurring and couldn't sing. The already tiny crowd started booing him and most left. I had to stay and watch the train wreck and moved down to the closest seats to the stage. After a vitriolic exchange with the sound guys over the guitar he was trying to play so badly they turned him off, Vince brought the show to a halt. I was about 20 ft from him and said "Hey Vince, why don;t you go backstage and do a line or something so you can perform." He looked straight at me and pointed and said "F off and go F yourself". Me and everyone else started cheering and laughing. The exchange between us used to be on YouTube, but the owner of the vid took it down sometime back. But as a musician I still wear it as a badge of pride.

Ok I will try again and if you get it right this time, we have to get married DJ as you know me too well...

1. I once jammed with Jack White
2. I had lunch with Bill Clinton
3. I did a survival trek for 3 weeks in Colorado
#2 is the lie? I don’t think you were ever a White House intern.

1. I can identify just about any nationally named brand beer (before all the mico breweries cam about), just by taste.
2. I was responsible for getting our high school exchange student expelled and deported.
3. I was a jury foreman at the age of 18 for a burglary trial.

OK, so when do we get hitched? WTF?
I was in all the super gifted, blah blah WTFever stuff in school. My sophomore year, the National Conference of Governors was held in OKC. Clinton was gov of Arkansas back then. Our groupof gifted students went to this as a field trip. Part of it was an essay contest on energy policy. Mine was one of the winners, so I got to sit at a table with some of the governors at a luncheon. I sat right next to Bill Clinton and had quite a lengthy conversation with him. He was such a nice guy, S.M.A.R.T. and HILARIOUSLY funny. I always thought about that as he became president. I always liked him because of that day. I met him again when he was running for President a couple years later and was astounded to find he remembered me and my name. So that story you've heard about his uncanny ability to remember people and their names is quite true (in my case at least).
After I graduate dHS I went on a guided 3 week survival hike through the Rocky Mountains. What an experience that was. trying to say the least, but incredible. Since then I have done several more survival treks and go full primitive camping once or twice a year. That means no shelter, no firestarters. Only a machete and a canteen and 1 set of clothes. I also tent camp at a couple music festivals a year. But that is luxurious compared to full primitive.
