There’s a lot former Cabinet members. In any case, I’m not James Watt, former Secretary of the Interior.

Yes, I’m American. I didn’t see them until around 1985, and I still can’t remember who the lead vocalist was.

It would have been Adrian Belew, who has been the singer from 1981 to the present (yes, King Crimson still exists).
IQ: Do you have true grit?

FYI to **Darryl Lict** : I think it’s been established that if a person is fictional, to answer “no” to “is (s)he alive.”
Were you ever seen twice in Family Guy, once as an Adult Movie Awards nominee, and the other has a charred husk?

Sorry about the lack of replies I thought I had responded but somehow my reply disappeared and then I drank too much beer watching that disastrous Lakers game.

I knew Adrian Belew was in the band when I saw them. He was the guy with the rubbery guitar. I’m not John Wayne.

I can only think of Gary Busey and I thought that Gael García Bernal got hurt during The Mortorcycle Diaries, but I don’t know who you are talking about. DQ.

Hmmm. I should think that I know this one, but I have no idea. DQ.

I know that that ass son of the football coach used this term, but it destroyed his candidacy. He directed it at a reporter though, right? DQ.
Thanks Biffy, for throwing me a bone. 6 DQs in a row, that’s got to be some kind of record.
Recap:
I am an American.
I am not alive.
