the World." I'm still down with that shit. Fuck you if you aren't.

Dick Van Dyke. The prototypical woman in my mind. Smarter than me,

a parade, a dog show, then I just go to someone's house and eat all of
their food, then the next day all hell breaks loose at every store in
America. My least favorite is Valentine's Day because I think Hallmark
invented it. I have no obligations on Thanksgiving, Valentine's Day is
just one big obligation. Unless you're single and then it's just a drag.

What was you first “real” concert/show?: The night of my
High School graduation I skipped the whole shebang and instead saw my
first live Rockabilly band on the Riverfront, then a little later on
in the night's festivities I wrestled a woman onstage as Santo, in the

I still have the mask but never bothered to get the diploma., Haven't
looked back since.
Name one band you are embarrassed to have liked.: southern Culture on

some gentle nudging.

At what age did you discover alternative rock and roll? How did this
discovery make you feel?: I was 12 when Nirvana broke big, I didn't give
a fuck. It made it possible for a wierd kid like I was to be popular
all through school, though. I found out about Link Wray and Gene Vincent
a couple years later, that was a much bigger deal.
If you play an instrument, when did you begin playing? And what instrument
is it?: I'm a front man. I don't even say singer because I'm not comfortable
