In an interview for his new book, “Red: My Uncensored Life in Rock” at mtvhive.com, Hagar lets go of what even he admits might make him “sound like a crazy person” to some readers.

He and the reporter are talking about dreams he claims to have had about UFOs, and when asked whether he believed he had been abducted, Hagar answers: “I think I have.”

The reporter seemed surprised. “What? Really? I was kidding. You seriously believe that?” he asks.

Hagar laughs and goes on to explain that a passage in the book described as a dream in which he is contacted by aliens from outer space in California was, in fact, reality. . . .

The full interview can be read at http://www.mtvhive.com.

Interesting that he describes this as happening when he was only four years old. Perhaps he was watching too much “Lost In Space.”

I don’t think his claiming he was abducted by aliens could make me think he’s any more crazy than I already do.

Crazy or not, he produces a lovely tequila.  Keep it up Sammy!

Thinking that he was abducted by aliens doesn’t necessarily mean that he was crazy.  Thinking that the reunion tour was a good idea - now that’s crazy!

This does not change my opinion of Sammy Hagar one iota. I have never had any respect for the man. He even managed to mangle a song protesting the absurd 55 mph speed limit. And his tequila tastes like dishwater.

Oh that rock ‘n’ roll… it’ll get ‘cha… look out people!

Touché

Kinda makes ya wonder if people like this are as insane as they try to make themselves look, doesn’t it?

I was thinking about that yesterday. Actually, it was a Paris Hilton interview that got me to thinking. I normally don’t care enough to read anything about Paris Hilton, but the headline grabbed me. In the interview Paris Hilton was going on and on about how special she is, how there is no one else like her, and how if women will just buy her new line of (clothing/sunglasses/whatever-the-hell-she-was-selling) they could be like her. Then I ran across this piece of wisdom while looking for math jokes for a different thread around here. This is mathematical proof that knowledge is inversely proportional to money.

Yes, I’ll take Words you don’t hear everyday for $1000.

What is, “It was a Paris Hilton interview that got me to thinking.”

That or she’s a far better salesperson then you would be inclined to give her credit for based on her public face.

haha  

It’s just obvious that this man craves attention. What better way to draw attention to yourself than to say you were “abducted”.
