  57. Most rock star thing you’ve ever done?

  Danced on the table at a tavern on my 22nd birthday. I was wearing a lycra dress, visible garters and stockings and heels. the band started playing happy birthday but stopped and asked (into the microphone) “wait, where’d she go?” I could hear them while I was puking in the ladies’.

  well, I saw Springsteen in the late 80s– he was great but my friend Nan was going to ditch me if I didn’t leave with her. we were in a city hours from home so I didn’t have a lot of choice. I think I got to hear four songs. and he did born to run as a ballad. boo.

  86. With Radiohead’s In Rainbows release and Nine Inch Nails doing boffo business with his online releases, do you see yourself ever doing some alterative kind of release for any of your future projects?

  uh, this doesn’t really apply to me but I’m going to go with– things are economically weird. everyone’s going to have to come up with unique ways of marketing themselves.
