I've Been Tagged Again! Seven Things About Me You Didn't Know (Or Were Afraid To Ask!)

I've been tagged!

OK, yet another MeMe is clogging the ActiveRain web site servers.

This one is called "Seven Things About Me"

But in my case, I'm calling it the "Seven Things About Me You Didn't Know (Or Were Afraid To Ask!)"

I'm quite certain there are more than seven things about me you didn't know...or were afraid to ask!....but I'll follow the rules and keep it to seven!

Laura Watts, David Patterson and Candace Robinson are the people who tagged me for this blog entry.

So, without further ado, but with great reservations, here are:

Seven Things About Me You Didn't Know (Or Were Afraid To Ask!)

1. I'm a huge fan of the game show Jeopardy! I'm not sure how I'd do if I was ever on on the show, but I am a five time Jeopardy couch champion! And really now, who doesn't like singing the Jeopardy theme song to tease your friends when they're thinking of what to say next?

2. When I grow up, I want to be an old Missippi Delta black Blues guitarist like B. B. King or Robert Johnson!

3. Although the first album I ever bought was "Steal Your Face", the first album I ever owned was, sadly enough, "The Partridge Family Album". (Hey, it was one of those gifts from someone who was invited to my parent's home, but didn't want to show up empty-handed!)

4. I've learned all my United States geography by following the Grateful Dead all over the country! With over 200 GD shows to my credit, (and being a Jeopardy couch champion), I know all the capitals, where to find the good local food and where all the cheap hotels are!

5. I'm addicted to pretzels. Don't give me those fancy designer pretzels, or even think about putting mustard or chocolate on them. I take my pretzels straight up, right from the bag! I can practically eat a whole bag nightly.

Behold the King of All Snack Foods - The Pretzel!

The picture below depicts a heinous act upon the king of all snack foods...putting mustard on it. I caution you to get the kids out of the room before viewing it. This is not for the squeamish! Please note, that although the content of this picture is very scary, it is a dramatization. No real pretzels were hurt in the process!

6. On September 16th, 1962 I was born in Doctor's Hospital in Manhattan, New York City. Shortly after I was born the hospital was torn down. Coincidence or not? I report, you decide.

Please note that the picture below depicts a building imploding. This is NOT a dramatization! The real building was actually hurt in the process!!!

7. And last, but not least....I appear on over 50 albums including one of the best selling albums of all time, "Frampton Comes Alive" by Peter Frampton, The Clash's "London Calling", The Dave Matthews Band "Central Park Concert", and countless Grateful Dead albums just to name a few.

OK, OK....They're all live albums and I was just in the audience for them. But if you listen closely, I'm certain you can hear me cheering!

Well folks, there are the seven things you didn't know about me (or were afraid to ask!).

But now you know them and you can't do anything about it!

And now it's my turn to tag some of my unsuspecting friends. Please note that if you are not tagged, it's not that I don't care about you. It's because I've responded to these MeMe things a number of times and tried to mix it up a bit. If I've tagged you before and now once again, it's because I either don't like you or you intrigue me and I want to know more about you!!! Again, I report, you decide!!!

So, here goes it goes. Let's see seven things we didn't know about you:

Terrie Leighton       Mandi Perkins

Josef Katz         Tracy Miller

Anne Hensel                  Sean Dreznin

 And my last victim....I mean friend....will be:

You!

That's right.

You!
