Google Me This

Earlier today, I “Googled” SpeedDating Guy #1. A few hundred search results displayed, pretty much all referencing an 80s hair band (that I had never heard of). I assumed there must be someone else with the same name as SDG1, albeit, his last name isn’t very common. So, I redid my search, this time telling Google to omit any results with the name of the band. Nada. Zero search results. So, out of curiosity, I clicked on the band’s website and to my surprise, I found a picture of SDG1 with major 80s rocker hair. Yep, that’s his band. I took a look at the rest of the site and found current pictures of him as well. Hmmm, maybe musicians are my new comics…

my first guess was gene simmons; but that would not be 80’s; so is he connected with one of the following?
11: Spinal Tap 10: Dokken 9: Slaughter 8: Def Leppard 7: Quiet Riot 6: Warrant 5:Cinderella 4: Motley Crue 3: Bon Jovi 2: Twisted Sister 1: Poison

just a hunch…

Oops, it’s not a famous band here. From what I could tell, they are (were?) big in other parts of the world.

But Drew, I have dated SO many comics and they all ended up duds. So sorry!

Sigh…but they’re just such opposite ends of the spectrum. My wife can attest, the funny ones are the best catches. Of course, she finds it incredibly funny when I get dead silence after I say something that I think is hilarious, so take the term “funny” as relative.

it’s been my experience that the ones who find it impossible not to be funny (they’re always “on”, always looking for a laugh) have issues that make them ill suited for a relationship with a normal human being.
musicians on the other hand… well, depends on what instrument they play.

I dig musicians. Preferably poor ones. Bring him to NY in November so I can check him out.

By some miracle, he’s not poor. Usually I date poor comics, so an employed musician is a big leap for me!
