1. Pretend it's 1985. Name three songs you'd put on a mix tape for your girlfriend:
Madonna: Crazy For You
Rush: YYZ - I am a Rush fan, and when I was 12 years old, my mix tapes were often times what I liked, not so much what my "girlfriend" would find mushy and romantic. What better to usher in a kiss goodnight than a huge Peart drum solo.
Lita Ford w/ Ozzy Osbourne - Close My Eyes Forever
Dead Kennedys - California Uber Alles - it was on every mix tape. I get four songs...

2. Which evil villain would make the best president? Hannibal Lecter. I feel that Hannibal would really see the forest for the trees, and make some solid decisions as to who makes it, and who is eaten for dinner. He also would not wait for those pesky committees, hearings and votes. Osama? Delicious with rice pilaf and a roasted beet salad. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.... medium rare with a red wine reduction and fingerling potatoes! Jesse Helms? A little old and tough, but who is picky, makes a great stew! Cheney? Shot in the face and braised!

3. What was your favorite cartoon as a child? Ranger Rick. We grew up in Europe, so I remember some large eyed Japanese honey bee cartoons that I liked, but I was always waiting for my next issue of Ranger Rick.

4. What superpower do you wish you had? Teleportation, hell yes! Be there in .027 seconds! I could manage two or three tours at the same time. GO GO GO!

5. What would the title of your autobiography be? Balancing Family and The Road
