Join us as I interview Bret Gottschall-the funny, musical Thursday addition to the Blue Nebraska Foundation Facebook Page.

In Bret's words, " I'm just a kid from Nebraska that was raised on Rock & Roll, seduced by Art and Beauty and Illusion at a young age, molded by '80s music, culture and fashion, fueled by humorous and emotional friendships and hell-bent on playing out a life of mostly harmless comedic acts of self-deprecation driven by a need for some attention and praise, but mainly to allow others to feel better about them selves...or at least to have a good laugh at my expense.

I like to make images of things that I find beautiful with whatever I have available to me.

I like to collect and play guitars and listen to all kinds of music.

I move through this life with a ridiculously '80s soundtrack playing in the background pretty much at all times.

I like to entertain.

My purpose is to shed light on the beauty in all of us, to love everyone (especially my children,my wife and my family), and to have as much FUN as possible while I am on this planet.

Yah, that's basically it :)"
