Describe yourself in three words.-

A gentle spirit.-

Phil Lynott. A friend of mine once said that he smelled fantastic.-

I'd like to go back into the Book of Genesis and slap the snake in the face.-

What song do you wish you had written?-

"Freight Train" by Elizabeth Cotten.-

Elvis Costello or Elvis Presley?-

Uh... "Lipstick Vogue", "Kentucky Rain"... It's probably a dead heat.-

LP, CD or MP3?-

LPs. Also, MP3s recorded to cassette tape in real time, that's what I end up mostly listening to while I drive.-

If you could start one trend, what would it be?-

We need more outlandish recreational watercrafts this Summer.-

If you could end one trend, what would it be?-

Here are two: hair-punk and tapas.-

The Ajax Lady from Up In Smoke.-
