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.
