Flashback to when you were 10 years old. What do you want to be when you grow up? 
A “CHiP” – which is a California Highway Patrolman – from the TV show Chips – I lived in California then, and there were actual Chips driving around, and it was super cool at that time.  Ponch and Jon were the two main dudes on the show.  I would be like Jon – the one with blond hair.

What’s the best concert you’ve been to? 
Had to be Johnny Cash – I saw him twice in the later part of his career – a true American Icon.
