6. CHRIS BALLEW

Chris Ballew is the lead singer and ‘basitarist’ of the triple platinum selling alternative rock group The Presidents Of The United States of America. He also releases childrens music under the pseudonym Caspar Babypants. With his POTUSA’s songs “Lump”, “Peaches”, “Kitty” and “Love Everybody” Ballew’s music was basically the soundtrack to my youth. Between his decades in the music industry, his billboard chart topping hits, his work with director Roman Coppola, his multiple Grammy Award nominations and his immense creative output there’s a lot we could have talked about. Instead, we sat in silence for 25 minutes. He used that time to package CDs for a charity fundraiser.
