Chris Jackson
Fill-in
What got you into radio?
I play guitar, piano, drums and bass. I wanted to get my band’s songs on the radio and tour the world. So, I thought it would help if I was the deejay on the radio. Then, I realized I didn’t want to do that much traveling anyway!
How much cash do you have on you right now?
$22
What did the last text message on your cell phone say?
Hey Chris, say hi to me on the air.
Favorite animal?
Turtles...especially swimming with sea turtles.
Tell us something you’ve done that most haven’t done?
I piloted at blimp over Morgan Hill, Gilroy, and Salinas.
Can you do a cartwheel?
No, and I can’t stay up on water skis either.
Favorite sentimental quote?
Nothing you ever do or say can make me love you more....or less.
Favorite quote you never heard before?
A problem well stated is a problem half solved.
Favorite animal quote?
Dogs have owners. Cats have staff.
What would it take to get you to give up driving for a year?
The ability to fly.
What do you consider a vacation?
Can’t beat a week in Lake Tahoe.
If you weren't working in Radio, what would be your Dream job?
Teaching troubled kids how to play musical instruments as a healthy way to cope, make friends, and build self-esteem (and write hit songs for me to play on the radio).
Are you a good dancer?
The camera doesn’t lie….so, not yet!
Where were you born?
San Jose! Leland High/San Jose State
Do you workout?
Yes: weightlifting, swimming, tennis.
Last time you laughed at something stupid?
When I messed up the lyrics, everyone laughed at me, even me.
Odd Talent?
I juggle bowling pins, but no knives or fire, so working at Pier 39 is out.
Something you wish you were better at?
Dancing and camping… always fun, as long as someone’s there with me that knows more about it than I do.
First thing you’d change about the world?
Enough fresh water wells for everyone.
Unique trivia about your past?
Well, out of my high school came Pat Tillman, Brent Jones (49ers), and Steve Smith (astronaut)….hard to find a school to beat that.
