In a world full of questions, sometimes you have to look both far and near to find the answers you seek. Or you can just look right here. This is 5 Questions. Let’s begin.

What Alice Cooper song would you put on a Batman movie soundtrack?

If any musical artist was made to write songs for a character like Batman or any of his infamous Rogue’s Gallery, such as The Joker, The Penguin, Catwoman, etc., it would be Alice Cooper. As for what songs I’d use, a few old classics like No More Mister Nice Guy, Hello Hooray, or the very appropriate when speaking of Gotham City, Welcome To My Nightmare.

Why are people so resistant to the understanding that they’ve been lied to.

That’s simple. No one wants to admit that they were fooled and deceived. It’s an ego thing and most people tend to have very frail egos. Better to play along with the lies and pretend it’s the truth than admit they’ve been suckered and fooled. It’s just that simple.

Do you think cable tv hosts are told what to say by executives in their cable network?

Absolutely. Some hosts may have a little more freedom than others, but the bottom line is always keeping the boss happy first and that means whatever narrative the boss says to say, that’s what you do.

What do you wish they would teach at school that they don’t?

Back in my day, they had Auto Mechanics, Shop, Home Economics, Business Math (where you learned to balance a checkbook, among other things), and now, so far as I understand, they don’t teach any of those things anymore. Hell, they don’t even teach how to write in cursive anymore, much less hit on the basic essentials needed to survive as an adult. And that’s just plain sad.

What’s something that you would be willing to stay up all night to do?

Read a good book, write, watch a movie or series on the computer, talk to my friends, drink, or have a booty call. All have been reasons used at some point.

And there you go. My thanks for reading. Comments, thoughts, or any questions you may have, feel free to drop me a line. Take care and be safe. I’ll see you next time.
