ONLINE GAMBLING AND CASINO GUIDE

Because it is my job to ask what nobody in their right mind would ask, I passed over some of my questions for Sammy Hagar and asked the ones you guys who read this blog wanted asked. Mr. Hagar, fun guy that he is, was totally up for that.

The first question was from @adogam on twitter who asked: Ask to take shots of cabo wabo with him. If you don’t want to ask if I can.

Oh, such a giggle came out of Sammy Hagar on that one. Once he recovered, he said, “I am not doing shots now, its too early! I don’t want to walk into this place drunk and pass out before its over. It’s possible… but I’d rather not.” And then he started laughing some more.

Next, Judy asked: Ask him how he liked playing with Eddie? I used to love Eddie.

With a serious tone, he replied, “Eddie was a great, great guitar player the years I was playing with him. We wrote some of the best music in the history of rock and roll, I think. And… it was awesome. I wouldn’t trade it for anything.”

Jessica wanted to know: What did your mom think about you becoming a rock ‘n roll guy instead of say, a banker, a lawyer or some other 9-5-er?

Sammy said, “Like I said, my mother always said, ‘you can’t do this for a living, you know, you’ve got to have something to fall back on. A real job!’ So, that’s what she thought of it.” And he started laughing again, “Until I bought her her first house!”

Gary asked: Of all the gigs you have worked, where is your favorite place to perform?

Without a moment’s thought he just blurted out, “St. Louis, Missouri.”
“Really? Why St. Louis?” I asked.
“They love me,” He said.
“Yeah?” I said and he started cracking up. “But everyone loves you!”
“But they love me more!” he said, still laughing.

Chase wanted to know: What happened to your shoes?

I had no idea what Chase was talking about, and Sammy didn’t either at first. He thought for a bit and then exclaimed, “Ohhhh! I had, I used to have Red Rocker Shoes! I used to have a line of shoes with Vans. Okay, I’ll tell you the whole story. I had bicycle stores, in Mill Valley I used to have these mountain bikes stores. When they first started, mountain bikes. So I built a mountain bike store and I had mountain bike clothing. So, I said, ‘oh, so I’ll sell my own shoes!’ So, my deal with Vans was that they couldn’t mark the price up just because it had my name on it. They had to sell them for the same price that they sold their other shoes. And when I ordered my shoes from them, they had marked them up by ten bucks a pair. So, they broke the contract. I really didn’t want to make shoes anyway. I was bored for five minutes.” He smiled.

Susie, dear, Susie, do you have any idea how tough it was to ask this question of yours? I figured my best approach was to save your question for last. Why should I throw out what little credibility I have right at the beginning of an interview? I’m sure Susie was joking, but I asked it anyway, thinking it could crack him up.
Susie asked: Do you think there is any chance of Jon and Kate getting back together?

Well, he was confused, “I don’t know who she’s talking about. Oh, they must be some celebrities or something.”
“They’re some reality TV thing,” I told him.
“AWWwww,” he yelled like I had stabbed him in the gut. “How would I know?!”

This Jon and Kate thing is like some horrible disease on the earth and I just infected yet another poor soul. He was a very good sport about it, though.

I leave you with a little Sammy Hagar music. This is his new super group, Chicken Foot. Some good, old fashioned rock and roll.
