There was no mic stand, as I was the only person who was singing and playing an instrument at the same time, so one of the MCs had to hold the mic to my face the entire time. Crowd responce? Movie-like. School was under my control for a couple days.

That's an awesome story! I love the
School was under my control for a couple days ending.
I should probably do this as well:
1) What did you want to grow up to be when you were 10?
A musician, not even a rockstar but just someone who's surrounded with musical instruments. I don't know why I never took it more seriously and let that get sidetracked since that's never changed and probably never will.
I also wanted to be Batman. I don't know why I never took that more seriously either.
2) If your friends were asked to give you one superpower and one weakness, what do you think they'd give you?
Knowing them, they give me something great like flying and then follow it up with a weakness like severe allergy to clothing. So if you see a naked man flying across the sky one day, yeah that's me
3) If you could live out one person's life, exactly like they did, from beginning to end, who would you choose?
It would be Bono. I love his story about his struggle through a traumatic young life, fighting for each inch to be where he is now. That self belief and confidence of knowing exactly what he wanted to be.
All the failures with the labels, half the band not knowing how to play music but just wanting to matter, breaking a good debut with an awful follow up and recovering, transitioning from the seminal Joshua Tree to a near bankrupting Rattle & Hum and from the hard time following that, coming into Zoo TV and Achtung Baby. The having one love of your life and not cheating on her, playing Live Aid, Sarajevo, Superbowl....what a life.
That or Batman. Not Christopher Nolan's Batman. That dude had it pretty bad.
4) Best ice cream flavour?
Cookies and cream.
5) Your life is a movie and it just ended. What song plays at the end scene/credits?
Amazing Grace. I'm not religious but that song is special.
6) What's the bravest thing you've ever done? What's the most cowardly?
Most cowardly: did not pursue music when I was younger.
Specifically: How I acted in my last relationship. I should have had the courage and self-respect to end things when I saw they were only one sided. Instead of dragging out & trying to
change her.
Most brave/stupid: quit my job to finally
at least try music. Since then I've had some amazing highs and very low lows. Although its yet to be vindicated as a smart thing to do, its inspired people around me to try and take some risks and pursue things they've always wanted too. And seeing that is enough to know that I'm on the right track.
