We Love Soaps: How did a shy person who plays drums by himself adjust to being recognized and screamed at by millions of people?

Jason Castro: I’m still adjusting. The hardest part is that I can’t get away. I can’t hide, I can’t put on a hat. It’s definitely a challenge because I am a private person. I am definitely outgoing and I enjoy meeting new people. I am not used to having the attention all the time. It’s one thing to have it on a stage, then being off stage and actually talking. It definitely makes me uncomfortable. But I take it one day at a time. And every time someone recognizes me it means I have a chance to share some music with them. I’m very grateful for that.

We Love Soaps: I have a quote from an interview. You said, “My biggest fear is wasting my life.” Can you tell me what that meant?

Jason Castro: It’s a daunting fear. I don’t want to look back at the end of my life and ask, “What did I do? Did I spend all my time trying to make money? Or was I doing things to change people’s lives? Was my music affecting people? Was I doing whatever I was doing with all my heart?” That’s a big thing for me. It’s an open ended question, what it looks like to not waste your life.

Let's see, since he finished in fourth place on Idol's Season 7, he has released a debut album, is planning a tour in the fall, got married and got to sing on a soap opera.

On July 29 and 30, Jason will be seen on The Bold and the Beautiful performing his song "Love Uncompromised."

"I'm really excited I got to sing that one," he said. "It's probably one of the most romantic songs on the album. It reminds me of a good old-fashioned love song."

Jason also got about six lines of dialogue, maybe more, in his scenes with Hope (Kim Matula), Oliver (Zack Conroy) and Aggie (Sarah Joy Brown).

So I decided to give Wheels a break from 50 Cent, Dr. Dre, and Bone Thugs. [...] Now....time to see how he operated in a different realm.

Jason Castro. His album is good for the soul. On another note, Hallelujah has to be one of the best songs ever written by Leonard Cohen. And Castro's version is amazing.

Wheels was so excited when he heard the music, you would have thought I goosed him in the britches.

Castro and Adams will fly with the Patriot Jets in their Vodochody L-39 Albatros jet trainer, a sleek aircraft originally made for the Czechoslovakian military. Each of the L-39 are two-seaters. The Patriot Jets are meeting the two celebrities and media around noon at the Olympic Flight Museum, at the Olympia Airport. Normally, the Olympic Flight Museum charges a fee to visit the museum, in honor of the Air Expo and because of the excitement of the Patriot Jets and the celebrities, there is no admission cost on Thursday.
