1. Who is your favorite singer/musician? Why?
paul westerberg, because he has the uncanny ability to make me believe that he’s singing about me and my experiences.
2. What one singer/musician can you not stand? Why?
gwen stefani, she makes my teeth itch. i just don’t like her blonde betty boopiness, it drives me nutso.
3. If your favorite singer wasn’t in the music business, do you think you would still like him/her as a person?
umm, probably not. but i don’t know. i’ve heard paul’s difficult and egotistical, too much like me perhaps. i don’t ever want to meet him, there’s no way he could live up to the paul in my mind.
4. Have you been to any concerts? If yes, who put on the best show?
paul westerberg at the guthrie last june or rem at midway some five or so years ago.
5. What are your thoughts on downloading free music online vs. purchasing albums? Do you feel the RIAA is right in its pursuit to stop people from dowloading free music?
i’m a crazy music pirater. as long as we have cd burners and tape recorders, they aren’t gonna stop the swap. hell, i was taping songs off the radio when i was like 12. is that illegal? i still buy albums, just not as many bad ones as before.
GS is more a cartoon than a, um, rock or ska or wtf ever vocalist. yeah, mostly cartoon.
