Back Tracks: Three Music Questions with Joe Klander

After graduating high school in 1999, Joe Klander got into wrestling. After learning the trade, he sought opportunities with wrestling leagues in Japan where he would eventually become known as a fearsome wrestler more interested in eating children than actually facing his opponent. His penchant for the wild and shocking eventually found him on national television with America's Got Talent and the reboot of The Gong Show. At present, Joe's hobbies have taken a calmer turn. You can see his seed art at this year's Minnesota State Fair.

When it comes to music history, Joe's first album purchase was an early compilation from a California band with a successful future. His first live concert involved costume changes and lots of positive vibes - though he regretted not wearing a Hawaiian shirt. And Joe's guilty pleasure song takes him back to his high school and college days, cruising around with friends. "It's a very millennium song."

You can hear Back Tracks every Friday at 8am on Northland Morning.
