I could be a gold digger?
My boss is hilarious. He sent me the following email last Friday. It seems that, despite his nerdy exterior, Ken Jennings (the guy who won like a trillion dollars on Jeopardy) has some good taste in music. Read on….

Subject: Kathy and Ken Jennings.......separated at birth?
I just had to let you know......
On the drive in this morning I was listening to Drew and Mike on WRIF and they had set up a phone interview with Ken Jennings the Jeopardy phenom. The interview started out with nice chit-chat, but in typical Drew and Mike fashion evolved into a slam-fest where the guys attempted to embarrass and stump Ken for being a game show dork. But somewhere in the middle of the attempts to stump Ken we learned important personal information about Ken that I thought would interest you. The interview essentially went like this:
Drew: Ken, it seemed like there were several Jeopardy categories that you totally sucked at....sports for example.
Ken: I wouldn't say I "sucked" at sports, but it is probably one of my weaker areas.
Drew: Okay, if you don't suck at sports who was the MVP of SuperBowl IV?
Ken: No idea.
Drew: Exactly my point. Everyone knows it was Len Dawson of the KC Chiefs.
Ken: Right.
Drew: How about Rock-and-Roll Ken? Are you a rocker and do you know R&R trivia? Who are your favorite bands?
Ken: Current bands or all-time?
Drew: Right now, whose music do you really get into? (I think everyone was expecting Ken to answer 'Donnie and Marie' or 'The Carpenters', but then came the impossible response)
Ken: Right now I love Wilco. They are easily my favorite band. I also really like The Flaming Lips and Deathcab for Cutie.
Dead serious, I am not making this up. I almost spit out my coffee. The interview stalled for several seconds as Drew (and I) attempted to gather ourselves, jarred by Ken's unexpected answer. I really don't know what I thought the small dorky Mormon from Utah would list as his favorite bands, but I'm almost certain it wasn't what I heard.
So all this is just to let you know that you might be seeing Ken rockin' out at any number of future shows you are likely to attend. Additionally, it is apparent that yourself and Ken have lots in common. And now he's a celebrity with bags of cash....and the best part is he lives in Utah in an environment where the fact that he is already married does not necessarily mean he is off the market. I felt it was my duty to provide you with this information....do with it what you wish.
I may be moving to Utah... I might be wife #4, but I’d get to ski and go to cool concerts!
Hugs and Kisses….
