      It happens  this Friday afternoon at the  House of Blues,  down by the George R. Brown Convention Center.   I have just spent  the last hour  reading  his  bio  and  going on the web to read up on him and  to tell you the truth I have burst out in tears of  riotous  laughter reading all his  inventions and characters and  quotes.  The man is a comic  genious.  He is  so spread out with his talent.  Most of his  characters  are taken from his  lifetime of  making  friends  laugh.  Silly things that we all do with our friends.  Then he is  fascinated with  UFOs  which is a whole  other  blog.  Then there are his movie  credits.  I had forgotten  he has done so much  film work and in so many  different  areas.  The solid stuff like  playing the son in  "  Driving Miss Daisy "  to the  crazy fun stuff like   "  The Blues Brothers."  He has hosted  a nationally syndicated show  from the House of Blues, he  has  owned  the Hard Rock Cafe in NY.  He is  co-owner of House of Blues  currently.  

     His degree was in  criminology and he's a huge  cop  fan.  His brother  is a  psychi  analyzer, what ever that is.  The man is all over the road.  And to top it all off, he  owns  a  fricking  winery and vineyard!   Stop already.  I feel like such an  under achiever.

   My  interview is going to be about his love of  the blues;.  He  and  Jim
Belushi are the opening act this Saturday at  House of Blues, so we are going to talk  blues.  My interview will air   this  Friday night on the  9PM. 

  As I do before I interview any  famous  person  I throw  the questioning out to you guys.  What questions  would you like me to ask  Mr. Akroyd  this Friday.  Give it your best shot.  The man is a  wealth of knowledge.
