I be famouse now?

Well; I guess I'm finally famous.  I am in this weeks Mercury.  The interview follows.  A photo accompanies the print version, and I've asked the journalist who interviewed me to send me the photo in email.  On the question:  Were you cool in High School; I had thought he had said cruel.  Of course; it's jazz-rock fusion, and progressive rock, not progressive jazz fusion and progressive rock (oh well...) .  a link to the interview follows (scroll down to Thaddeus S; theres an interview before that on the page); then the interview it'self.

Name and nickname: Thaddeus S.

Occupation: None

How fashionable are you on a scale of 1-10? Uhhhh... zero. One.

Do you have a cultural recommendation for our readers? Hey kids! Damnit! Test yer ears a little bit, sit down... hunker down for a few months, and learn some progressive jazz fusion and progressive rock, damnit! Thank you.

Were you cool in high school? Not to people. But I might have burnt a few fireants with a magnifying glass.

If you had a time machine, where would you go? You mean when would I go? Yes, but where is also an important component. Ahh, I see. England. In the late 1700s. Why? Even though they weren't highly favored by us Yanks, you know, they'd already done their bit for democracy and were well on their way. And yet, other than the soldiers being shipped over to America, they were pretty much safe, home, and dry at that time. So, they got to have their Enlightenment and eat it, too.

Favorite thing about the opposite sex? I take it you're looking for a body part? Oh, no. I get all kinds of answers. I'm probably just gonna be un-novel: I guess it's a toss-up for me between tits, ass, and face, you know what I mean?

Least favorite thing about the opposite sex? That's a loaded question. That's my answer. If I told the truth on that one, I'd further reduce my chances of getting laid.

What should all women know that they never seem to? That we males should not always have to change our damn minds about something we're planning on doing every time we want to enjoy coitus.

What is your dream? I want my computer back. It was stolen on the 21st.

What is your best PDX story? Gosh, I mean... Yeah, you have a lifetime of them. One came to mind, but my flash answer isn't that special, at all. I once saw an eagle... I mean, a seagull, attempt to eat a pigeon. Underneath the Hawthorne Bridge or something. The pigeon is injured, and the seagull thought, you know, that damn thing's... starting to look an awful damn lot like food.
