Queen's Lead
In my humble opinion, Freddie Mercury is/was the greatest frontman for any band, ever. I remember hearing Queen's Another One Bites The Dust on Casey Kasem's America's Top Forty; my box stereo was on the floor, in-between my bed and the wall. I would listen to Kasem doing the countdown on Sunday nights. The year this particular song made a splash in the US was probably around 1980.
Simply the greatest live Rock performance in history: Queen playing at Live Aid in 1985.
Wembley Stadium: London.

Grand Canyon
In 1994, during a two-week stay in Mesa, Arizona, an Egyptian-American young lady and I rented a convertible and drove 4 hours north to the Grand Canyon. We drove to Phoenix, up to Sedona and on to Flagstaff, before driving another 60 or so miles to the South Rim.

My Bungee Jump
When I was at Samford University I met a couple of Uzbek (then Soviets) students, Timour and Ulugbek. I befriended them, and they spent lots of time around my family, especially Uncle Jim. One Spring break the four of us went to Walt Disney World in Orlando. Besides Disney, we visited Sea World and an alligator farm. Perhaps, though, the most interesting thing we did was go bungee jumping. Uncle Jim, in his mid-sixties then, stayed on the sidelines and rooted us on. Timour went first, and so there was no backing out for Ulugbek and me. Here's my bungee jump - 15 storeys high. You can hear Uncle Jim holler out, "Ride 'em cowboy!"
