The Complete Interview List

 

1 - Tell us how your project(s) were started.

Andy (guitarist) and I started 46 SHORT out of the ashes of another band ($am's Laff) that died in 1996.

 


2 - What does music, in it's entirety, mean to you?


Music has always been something that has stirred emotions in me...made me feel human. It has also acted as a bookmark for certain stages in my life.

 


3 - What does art, in it's entirety, mean to you?


I generally separate "Art" and "Music." I am very much inspired by visual art. It seems so much more dangerous and raw because most of it is not very commercially viable (unlike most of today's music.)

 


4 - Who is your favorite author, and why?


John Steinbeck is my favorite author. It started when my sister lived in Monterey and I read Cannery Row. Then it just progressed to Tortilla Flat and then to Of Mice and Men, etc. The characters and imagery are amazing.

 


5 - As your best friend, describe yourself.


Conscientious and hard-working.

 


6 - As your worst enemy, describe yourself.


A demanding asshole with no sense of human emotion.

 

 

7 - If your persona were immortalized as a cartoon character, who would it be?


Spongebob Squarepants..


 

8 - Do you think there are conspiracies against the "everyday person"?


Absolutely. There is a lot of truth in the old saying: "The rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer."


 

9 - What do you do with your spare or free time?


Read, surf, and camp in Mexico.


 

10 - Please give us your interpretation of "the meaning of life".


I don't know...some days it seems so clear to me and other times I'm waking up wondering why I'm so hungover again.
