RON WHITE: THE BEHAVIORAL PROBLEMS TOUR
Ron White made his name as part of the Blue Collar Comedy gang, which also includes such lunkheads as Jeff Foxworthy and Larry the Cable Guy. Except White’s actually funny. —Libby Molyneaux
L.A. WEEKLY: Who do people say you look like?
WHITE: Nick Nolte and Gary Busey. We all use the same headshot.
You’re looking really hip these days — who did your makeover?
What makeover? My hair is naturally striped. If you look at my wardrobe on Blue Collar One, and what I was wearing last night, you’ll see they match.
What do you do all day when on tour?
Golf during the day and live rock & roll at night. Life ain’t bad.
What’s your favorite medication?
Klonopin. With a Johnnie Walker Blue chaser.
Do you give money to homeless people?
Not really anyone’s business who I give money to, but yes, I do.
What is your definition of happiness? Are you happy now?
The absence of sad. I’m not sad now. I’ve got the Klonopin, remember?
Who would you like to play you in the story of your life?
What would cause you to quit comedy?
If people quit laughing after I say something.?
What are your favorite things to do when in L.A.?
Leave for Santa Barbara.

Event
PEOPLE — YES, THIS SOUNDS FUN, BUT WEAR A HELMET AND BE CAREFUL!
All we ask is that you read “How to Not Get Hit by Cars” at bicyclesafe.com before you enjoy Bike Night at the Hammer. The idea is a simple one: Cars are bad; bikes are good. The museum folks — who, by the way, don’t want you dead, either — have organized a bike-able evening with free bike valet parking by the L.A. County Bike Coalition; vegetarian snacks, live music by Telematique and screening of the all-time best bicycle flick, Breaking Away (except for The Triplets of Belleville). The Hammer Museum, 10899 Wilshire Blvd., Westwood; Thurs., April 16, 7 p.m.; film at 8:30 p.m.; free. (310) 443-7000. —L.M.
