I'm proud to say he's my friend. He is indeed a cross between the most interesting man in the world, and Forrest Gump. Wait till he writes about his moment with Mariah Carey. I know McAlley.

He's the most unassuming, least pretentious bad-ass I've ever met. Chicks dig it. I’ve had the pleasure of sharing many an espresso with John at Starbucks.

The robustly employed are welcome, as well, so long as they adhere to the dress code (flip-flops, cargo shorts, “hammeRED” tee from the Gap) and are willing to join in the group greeting, “I would rather be with you than with the finest people!” Adam?

Renaissance man meets rock star Casanova. Kind of an intellectual version of the "most interesting man in the world" character. A true Dallas asset.

John is the former arts and entertainment editor at the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. He came here FROM Entertainment Weekly. He was here for roughly two years, 2004-2006 if I recall right. I still see him at movie screenings all the time. And I love the part in the Beck profile where John talks about having a comfortable flight from the Netherlands to Switzerland -- or was it the other way around? -- while Beck and family schlepped their way on the tour bus.
