Huntsman also joined REO Speedwagon on the piano for two songs during their concert at the Utah State Fair on September 16, 2005.
Huntsman has been awarded six honorary doctorate degrees.
Six, with all that money he should have at least bought an even dozen.
Well, he’s a Dream Theater fan, so he couldn’t be ALL bad! lol
Great. From what I'm reading here, he can have a jam session with Mike Huckabee and let the conservatives run for President.
