AMA -- Rob Shanahan (For music fans)
As we wait for the start of free agency and the draft and the fact many hear discuss music, I thought it might be entertaining to do an "ask me anything" with Minnesota native, Viking fan and world-renowned rock photographer Rob Shanahan (who I know from LA circles). Rob has registered and agreed to answer questions in the coming days (though he may pop in and answer questions at any time, he is willing to come at a particular time so please suggest when he should think about making a formal visit).
Rob's bio: 
Just got the announcement, Vikings released Thielen! Oh man....

My dad had season tix at Met Stadium, we'd wait by the player's exit/parking lot and get our programs autographed! Matt Blair, Carl Eller, Paul Krause, Chuck Foreman, Alan Page...etc. My young mind was blown. :)
