Mind altering work of art (not your own): Greetings From Asbury Park, NJ, Bruce Springsteen Most memorable/inspirational gig and why? Opening for Kinnie Starr, Veda Hille and Oh Susanna. Neil Young & the Pretenders ran a close second they all make me want to watch and not play. What should everyone shut up about? Ellen and Anne Heche breaking up who gives a shit, people break up all the time. Your greatest strength/weakness: Strength: Cute bums. Weakness: Cute bums.

I would drop everything to play a benefit for: Women’s rights, or anything to do with kids. What makes you want to take it off and get it on? Sara and I don’t discuss that sort of thing when each other is around. That’s incest and we have to share a bed sometimes. What personal trait would make you kick someone out of your band? And have you? When they look like me, act like me, play like me, and they could be my twin. When I think of Canada I think: Canadians fuckin’ rock Americans any day of the week. webpage editor's note: "Whatever!" Music and sex: Is there a difference? Why? Yeah, one you do naked, the other people picture you naked. Strangest brush with celebrity: Riding a rollercoaster at the CNE with Chrissie Hynde and Eddie Vedder. What does your mom wish you were doing instead? She wished we would move home and let her play drums with us.
