Here’s a link to 12 fun questions to, and 12 pithy answers from, Mike Rowe courtesy of Lisa De Pasquale. Enjoy…

The De Pasquale’s Dozen asks political figures and free market-minded writers and entertainers to take a break from politics and talk about their pop culture obsessions.

1. What’s your favorite movie line and who would you like to say it to?

“What we’ve got here, is a failure to communicate.”? The Human Race.

2. Tell me about your favorite teacher and how he or she influenced your life.

That would be my high school music teacher, Fred King. Like Mr. Holland, Mr. King taught a good deal more than music, and changed more lives than I can count. He introduced me to musical theater, barbershop harmony, draft beer, and girls. Not always PTA approved, but in hindsight, the most influential teacher I’ve ever had. At his funeral, hundreds of people stood in the rain outside the church, which was overflowing with former students, friends, and musicians from all over the world. It’s impossible to sum the man up in a Q&A, so if you’re really interested, check out the eulogy I wrote. It was turned into a podcast a few years later, and from what I’m told, people like it.
