Just me hanging out before the ritual sacrifice at midnight.

"Hotline Bling" by Drake
What is a song by an artist you don't usually like?
I'm not saying I didn't like Drake before we all knew that he was not like us. I am saying that there was just something about the music that he was associated with that didn't appeal to me.
Still, there is something about this song. Maybe it's the story of how a Good Guy
perceives not ending up with the girl or how people can get caught up in living the fast life.
I feel that the phrase “it’ll get better” should only be used on life and the obstacles we face and not products and services. Those are material and outside of what truly matters.

"Pizza Power" by Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
A song from the first gig you went to.
When I was a kid, Pizza Hut had a tie in with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I believe that if you bought a certain amount of pizza you could get a discount on the Coming Out of Their Shells soundtrack.
I don't know what better or worse, this or a McDonald's Happy Meal.
This is a quarter of my dad’s cd collection.

"Killing In the Name" by Rage Against the Machine
What's your favorite protest song?
Kind of hard to beat a song that repeatedly says
Fuck you, I won't do what you tell me
The telcoms know they are charging too much. When you call, they have an automated option for complaints about the price.

"Hound Dog" by Elvis Presley
A song you didn't realize was a cover?
I guess a lot of people thought that this was his song.

"...Baby One More Time" by Bowling for Soup
A song you'd like to hear covered by someone else. Which artist?
At first, I thought that was a weird and borderline rude question to say that you would be listening to a song and think I wish someone else was singing it.
But, those are some of the best covers.
I picked this song because I've heard a couple covers of it and I think having someone like Barry White sing it might be an interesting twist.

"La Isla Bonita" by Madonna
A song from the last gig you went to.
The last gig
that I went to was for an up and coming singer named Madonna.
Unfortunately it wasn't that great because the energy just wasn't there. The first couple of rows were filled with people just sitting there with their arms folded.
COME ON PEOPLE!!! THIS IS MADONNA!!!
I miss the other local stadium that was torn down.
