Joe Hayes: Hello, my name is Joe Hayes. Well, really my official name is Joseph Hayes. That's what it says on my birth certificate but nobody ever called me that. They just called me Joe. When I was a kid, I wasn't really happy with my name because it's so easy to make up silly rhymes with Joe. My friends would say, "Hello Joe, what do you know?" Or they would call me Joe Blow from Kokomo. I wished I had a long, complicated name that wasn't so easy to rhyme with, but now that I'm grown up I'm pretty happy with my name.
