Mike Filer Q&A

What do you think about when you’re alone in your car?
Ohhh, that’s a good question. I often think about what it would be like to be rock star. It depends on what I’m listening to. Lately it’s been a lot of the Allman Brothers because of Greg Allman that passed away at the age of 69. But yeah just random things like that. I listen to a lot of music like that and I always wonder what their lifestyle is like and what it’s like to be touring around and playing live shows.
Would you rather fight 100 duck-sized horses or one horse-sized duck?
One horse-sized duck. Get it over with. I don’t wanna fight 100 times. I wanna fight one time.
What is the best gift you’ve ever received?
Oh my gosh, that’s a tough one. I don’t know that’s hard. The best gift I’ve ever given to somebody would be my friendship. But the best gift I’ve ever received would probably be back when I was in grade school, my buddy worked at a guitar shop and he gave me a really nice Washburn solid wood guitar. That was my first solid body guitar. And I still have it to this day.
What kind of music do you play?
I play a lot of everything, blues rock, classic rock, I mean like those are my genres. I love rock and roll. I love blues. All that stuff. I love all types of music.
Which player is most likely to snap you with a towel in the locker room?
Ryan Bomben [no hesitation].
Which actor would play you in a movie of your life?
John Candy [no hesitation].
What did you do in your first date with your significant other?
My first date… long walk on the beach man.
If a zombie apocalypse broke out tomorrow, what would you do?
I’d probably just live my life the same I do every day. I live pretty far out in the country and I’d hope they’d attack the city before they came out and messed around with us farmers. We got nothing for them.
If you could take three items to a desert island, what would they be?
My guitar. That’d be it. That’s all I need.
