Carter Trade his Hammer for a Guitar? ...Oh Yeah!
There are a growing number of people living out their rock and roll dreams by going to Rock and Roll Fantasy Camp, according to an article from USA Today. Everyone's got the rock star bug - including America's favorite handyman. As a young kid, Carter heard a song from the band Quiet Riot and he was hooked. The song made quite an impression on him. "The lyric said, 'Love's a bitch,' but I thought it was 'Love's a fish.' Whatever. I was hooked," Carter said.
When asked if he'd trade his talent for building to become a rock and roll star, Oosterhouse laughs and says, "I would take it in a heartbeat."
It would be interesting to see Carter with an electric guitar strapped to him instead of a tool belt. Unfortunately, Carter admits that he "wasn't any good" with a guitar. Today, Carter satisfies his thirst for the rock star life by playing Guitar Hero III, a video game where the player with a guitar controller must strum in synch to the music to score points and retain their performance level. Carter plays this with his girlfriend until 2 a.m. It's a good thing that Carter chose the hammer instead of a guitar as a young lad. If not millions of viewers would be deprived of his innovative green solutions in his show Carter Can. Then again, how many would want to see Carter playing Guitar Hero III in the wee hours?
