Mistaken Identity

Last weekend was the big Youth Specialties Conference in Nashville. Brock and I were walking around the exhibit hall and a guy stopped us to get a picture taken with Brock. He talked about how he loves his show, especially the ping pong balls trick. Then, after a few minutes another guy asked if he could take a picture with Brock. He said that the kids in his youth group would love him if he got a picture. After I had taken the picture with Brock, the guy said, "By the way, I love the Hurricane album. We used 'Dare You to Move' in one of our videos." I immediately realized that he thought Brock was actually John Foreman, the lead singer of Switchfoot. Brock hears this a lot. However, we didn't know what to say. We had already taken the picture and he was so stoked to show it to his youth group. Brock gave him a high five and we moved on. It was funny! Do you see the resemblance?

Yes, I do! I can understand how that happened! I looked at the picture and thought that Brock had changed hair dressers! Same shape face, same coloring, both had a bit of fuzz on their chins, same shapped nose! Brock, did you know that you had a double!

We've worked with Switchfoot and therefore have met John. Brock is much taller than John, but that's hard to tell from a picture.

Oh my goodness. That is almost scary. Add Kid Rock to the mix and only a mother could tell. :)

I always thought he looked like Mark from Audio. Then we hung out with them backstage one time and the resemblance went away a bit.
