Michael Bolton is My Hero

Two women were sitting behind us on the Fung Wah bus - the notorious road-mule that endlessly carts people between Boston and New York. Their conversation started out awkward and amicable. And after a few minutes got interesting...
"So what kind of work do you do?"
"Well, I love combining fundraising for charitable causes with celebrities. You know, I think combining those two things is just fantastic."
"Wow, that sounds like good work"
"Oh, I don't actually DO that, but I'd like to. Although I've been to a few fundraisers. And actually met Michael Bolton twice. Do you know who Michael Bolton is?"
"No..."
"Oh he is just the best. He is by far my hero. He is SUCH a great guy. He wanted to use his fame for good. He was looking for a cause to support and decided it should be victims of domestic violence."
...pauses for a moment filled with sweet nostalgia...Continues:
"...yes, he actually WENT to visit not one but TWO women's shelters. He just so quickly became my hero. And I swear to god, he would just beat the crap out of anyone who ever tried to hit a woman. Oh! And children! He just LOVES children! Oh man, if anyone tried to hit a kid, I actually HEARD him say, he said, 'Just let 'em try. They'd have to get past me first.' "
Pauses for justified moment.
"Yeah, Michael Bolton is DEFINITELY my hero. Oh yeah, and one time Joe Torre was there too. You know who Joe Torre is, right?"
"Ah, I think I've heard of..."
"Oh man, yeah. So Michael Bolton was like, 'I just hate to see anyone get hit. But especially women and children.' And Joe Torre stood up, and was like "Me too! Me too!". It was amazing. Michael Bolton is my hero. Oh and his mother is just the nicest..."

They stopped talking after another few minutes. Unfortunately.
