1. Who is your favorite female vocalist?
I have to go with my birthday girl, Stevie Nicks.
2. Many British singers sing with an American accent. Are there any Americans who sing with a fake British accent?
Wow. That is a tough question. I have nothing off the top of my head. I did some Googling but came up with nothing. So disappointing – maybe Milli Vanilli – they made up everything else why not that.
3. Who/What is your favorite music video?
Aha – “Take on Me.” Iconic. Kind of a one hit wonder but that video keeps them in the hit list collections of the 80s.
4. What’s a quote from your favorite comedy without naming the movie?
“You Keep Using That Word, I Do Not Think It Means What You Think It Means”
5. When was the last time you processed a roll of film from your camera?
Probably in 2008 or so. I dug out my old Nikon F3 the other day and did a search for some black and white film with thoughts giving my hand at good old fasioned analog photograpy again. Maybe that could be a weekend thing if I can find some local film.
1. Tough one. I’ll go with Jenny Lewis. Between her noteworthy solo work and her time in the Postal Service, she’s demonstrated a great deal of musical range. Also, she’s amazing live.
2. (Milli Vanilli were German.) The only person I can think of is Madonna. She convinced herself she was British at some point during her marriage to Guy Ritchie.
3. “Losing My Religion” by REM. It doesn’t make a lot of sense but somehow it works and holds up.
4. “Stop calling me Shirley.”
5. It wasn’t that long ago. I had a roll of film sitting on my desk for ages, and had no idea what, if anything, was on it. I had it developed and they were low res photos of a party in 2000. I had to have help identifying many of the people.
1) Bette Midler
2) David St. Hubbins of Spinal Tap.
3) I was always mesmerized by NWA’s Straight Outta Compton.
4) “It could be worse, it could be raining.” – Young Frankenstein.
5) About 6 years ago I found an old instamatic camera with some film in it, so I mailed it into have it developed. Nothing super cool on it though.
1) Tori Amos
2) Peter Dinklage on Game of Thrones? ????
3) The Prodigy – Smack My Bitch Up! Crazy cool first person video.
4) Suppose Nancy sees me coming out of the shower and decides to come on to me. I’m looking good, got a luscious V of hair going through my chest pubes down to my ball fro. She takes one look at me and goes, ” Oh, my God, I’ve had the old bull, now I want the young calf,” and she grabs me by the weiner.
5) 1992
Who’s Elsa?
1. Julee Cruise.
2. I think there was a Brady Bunch episode where Jan did that. It was the one where Sam the Butcher gave Alice a hysterectomy.
3. Barnes & Barnes’ “Fish Heads”.
4. “I once farted on the set of Blue Lagoon”. Pause. Slap.
5. Early 80’s.
