interview questions from saintclaire

1. What is the one thing in life that you want to do more than anything else?

Write a kick-ass, lasting book and die happy. So that's two things.

2. What were you like in High School?

I was a lot like I am now. Quiet but devious. A lot less motivated than I am now--or at least motivated in less healthy directions. Crazed about music. Not concerned about much other than the here and now (or there and then, or whatever). Not quite a burnout, but getting close. A tad insane.

3. As a child what was your favorite toy?

Hmmm. Favorite toy. I used to dig my Six Million Dollar Man dolls action figures a whole lot. I even had the Albert Goldman one. And Maskatron was totally bad-ass.

4. If you could live in any decade, future, past, or present, which one would you choose to live in and why?

Good question! Probably the '60s. If I could make it like 1964-1973, that would be cool. I would say right now, but of course I don't know what kind of crazy shit could happen in the next few years.

5. If you could spend any amount of money, and had a month off from work, what would you do?

God, what wouldn't I do? I'd get in the car with every CD I own, hit the road, and follow my nose. Make a beeline down to New Orleans, spend a lot of time in Texas visiting friends, and head out west to see a lot of shit I've never seen. Try to take in as much music and culture as I could. See a bunch of baseball. Visit the tavern in Woody Creek, CO, and see if I could run into Hunter Thompson.

Thanks! See The Great Thompson Hunt--he's the guy who wrote Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, among other stuff. I fucked up on Albert Goldman. I meant Oscar Goldman, who was the Bionic Man's boss or cronie or something. Albert Goldman I think wrote a biography of John Lennon! :)
