Show me the way, Peter

Look who's calling me tomorrow for a short chat -- it's Peter Frampton! Now before all the "you're stuck in the '70s now" comments start up, lemme assure you -- Frampton belongs to EVERY one of us!

(Except you 20-something slackers -- you're not ready for Frampton yet. Just ask your parents about him, but don't be freaked out if they just give you a shy knowing smile and wink at each other.)

He's playing Clearwater's Ruth Eckerd Hall on Friday (Oct. 24) but he and I will shoot the breeze on Tuesday afternoon for a while. What will I ask him? As usual, that's partly up to you! As always, I'm taking your question ideas.

But you can be sure I'll ask about Frampton Comes Alive (best live recording ever? You tell me!), his Grammy Award win last year and, of course, his Geico commercial. (I'd love to know how much money that insurance giant blows a year on celebrity cameos. Though Peter's talk-box version rocks.)

Leave your questions below, and then pull that dusty double-set of vinyl out of the closet and queue up some Baby I Love Your Way. (You know you love it.)

Peter Frampton's 2006 album "Fingerprints" is absolutely awesome. I say check her out..

How did he come to work on David Bowie's "Never Let Me Down Album", and was it a good experience?

I saw Frampton a few years ago when he was touring with Journey and John Waite. Although I didn't really go to see him, he put on an awesome show--he is a great live entertainer!

Does he feel like I do?

Steve,

You gotta ask about the hair. When he did he decide it was time to let go of his signature locks? Did he go straight to his current short-shorned look, or were the intermediate cuts?

Tonsorially enquiring minds want to know!
