The Iron One

What do you say about Iron Mike?  He is just a wise ass little boy in a handsome man's body

7 Questions for Iron Mike Bensson

1. Where were you born?

Kenmore New York

2. How the Hell did you end up here?

I ran out of Buffalo radio stations that would put up with my " advanced " ways of thinking and my "open-minded" approach to the English Language.

3. What are the top 3 concerts that you've ever been to?

1) Pink Floyd in Cleveland....mid 80's I think.......We drank with the band backstage AND back at their hotel !!! The whole weekend was momentary lapse of reason.

2) The concert at Watkins Glen , NY......just after the first Woodstock......Allman Bros, James Gang, Greatful Dead..............fuelled by chocolate flavoured mescaline.

3) Metallica at the Phoenix. The one that was the "Blind Date" promotion where no one knew who the band would be (except me).

4. What REALLY pisses you off?

Bosses. Consultants. Rules. Liars. Prudes.

5. What's the dumbest thing you've ever done?

Agreed to work here and to be paid in Canadian funds. Damn !

6. If you could have a super power, what would it be and why?

To turn water into wine. Because I'm a "wino"

7. What makes you smile?

Wine. Women. Song.... & rock radio the way it is supposed to be.....like this.


The Slacker

7 questions for Shannon Slack

Toronto

2.  How the Hell did you end up here?

That bald f#$k Bensson called me

3.  What are the top 3 concerts that you've evert been to?

Metallica, Rush and the Hip

4.  What REALLY pisses you off?

 I can't stand sitting in traffic with a bunch of schmos who don't know how to drive. That really makes me snap!

5.  What's the dumbest thing you've ever done?

Hmmm...there's a few. How about experimenting with booze at grape and wine, falling in a hole and ending up in the hospital the next day with a really bad sprained ankle.


 6.  If you could have a super power, what would it be and why?

What about an arm like inspector gadget...you could whip out your go go gadget arm to grab a beer from the fridge without getting up...use the copter to take off and fly high whenever you were bored or just wanted to leave somewhere really quickly and pop out the boxing gloves to KO anyone who pisses you off

7.  What makes you smile?

My puppy Carling, being up north and when the Leafs win...I'd be ecstatic if they ever won the cup!
