Interviews with people whose careers we envy.

Alex B (aka Alex Bodo), Lucas Oil Stadium/Colts games music guy

Best part of your job?

“Watching the players get fired up on the field when I play a tune that they like.”

Biggest misconception about your work?

“That I have a ‘crowd noise’ CD looping somewhere in the stadium. KIDDING! The biggest misconception is I’m the only one picking the music. It’s actually a group effort with myself, the team and (production director) Brian Woodrum.”

How can I get your job?

“This job is not something you would see in the want ads. It’s a result of being sought out based on 20-plus years in the entertainment business, including nightclubs and radio. Most importantly, it’s taking what you know in the business and adapting it to the environment that’s in front of you.”

Character trait that best suits you for this job?

“Common sense. I have to take what I know from the clubs, what I have done on radio, what the players and fans want — and then try to deliver that balance with a bang!”

Most irritating part of your job?

“When my drunk friends send me text messages during a game requesting AC/DC ….. LAME.”

That was my fault. My apologies in a public forum.

But really it was Jonathan Boho’s fault for having a name so similar to yours and getting me all confused. :)

With all the talents, excellent personality, lots of good sense of humor, all the years of experience that AlexB has, he should be replacement for Jay Leno!..The Tv entertainment moguls don’t know what they are missing!..How can I say that? Because he is my son, that is why!
