  1. 1) Like Roy, my parent introduced me to Herb Alpert and Tijuana Brass album WHipped Cream and Other Delight (which I own on vinyl). I have digital files as well, if anyone wants it.

    2) Some people call me the space cowboy, yeah.

    3) Chili rellenos (and most Mexican dishes). Even in takeout, Mexican dishes become soggy messes of goop. There’s a reason the food is served in restaurants quickly and on surface-of-the-sun hot plates.

    4) The super group of Stevie Ray Vaughan and Jimmy Hendrix at the Sphere in Vegas, baby!

    5) Willy Wonka…but was he or was he not a villain and and the good guy?

  2. 1) Simon & Garfunkel, I don’t recall the specific album.

    2) Dearly beloved
    We are gathered here today
    To get through this thing called “life”
    Electric word, life…

    3) Shrimp cocktail, the stank of that poor delivery persons car would be unbelievable.

    4) Prince

    5) Heath Ledger as the joker is the best portrayal of the villain. But David Prowse and James Earl Jones brought the greatest villain to life in Darth Vader.
