If you could only listen to one song for the rest of time, what would it be? Why?

“The Weight” by The Band.

This song expresses love better than any song ever has. The guy is like, I love her so much, please, PLEASE, take the load off of her and let me carry it. It would literally be a pleasure to take on extra load, if it lightens hers. Plus, the groove is so solid.

God comes to you with a plate. And says that you can pick a main dish, a side dish, a dessert, and a drink to put on this plate. But whatever you choose, that is what will be on your plate everytime you eat for the rest of time. What do you choose:

Main Dish: Linguini with pesto and grilled chicken

Side Dish: French fries

Dessert: Dark Chocolate Raspberry Tort

Drink: Cool Water

You've just won $100,000,000. What are the first 5 things you do?

1. Invite all of my family & friends to a crazy vacation and tell them to bring all of their financial debt, so I can pay it off before we leave.

2. Go camping with my peeps and Ben Harper and play music around the fire.

3. Buy a cabin on the hills of the Northwest. With mountains behind me and the ocean in front.

4. Travel the world. Eat pizza in all foreign countries and dig on how it differs.

5. Start a camp for kids of all kinds. Call it, “Camp Groovy”. Bringing my favorite musicians together to entertain and interact with the kids.
