on my now almost complete garage -overhaul, I found a precious piece of scribble that intended to be an interview from Live Magazine circa OCMA 2004, which was never published. I suppose it was just a little too contrary. As I recall, there was some scandal or snaffu regarding this "interview", which I disregarded because it was tailor made exactly the same for every musician that they interviewed.. and somehow I found that repulsive. Also, the over-use of puctuation made me uneasy.

Here are a select few questions/answers that made me smirk with recollection
