Yeah I laughed at that. "We have a very democratic approach to fondling."
"And it just so happens to be Jeff's turn." (Eddie unbuckles his pants) "GIDDYUP."
It got a little awkward after that.

Fair enough. While it may not be public knowledge, they probably have some secret corporate partnership that lets them purchase all their necessary parts at a discount. Cyborgs would make sense.

Taking some time 'off' for work does not necessarily make a bad father. People working in offices or factories are gone for hours a day as well...

Yup.

Love Mark Richards. He is one of us, clearly. It was like I was in the room asking the questions.

I was concerned that the band being interviewed by "friends" was going to turn out to be not too interesting - they seem to insulate themselves from any outsider (ie same old BoB, Clinch, Cameron Crowe, 10C people, fanboys Cohen & Letkemmann, artists, etc.). I'm pleasantly surprised by both interviews thus far. I think Gleason's is going to be awesome.

Because there is no God. No God would make his sons and daughters suffer like this.

I think with Carrie (and people like Carrie) they feel like they're never cool enough, so that affects how they answer. I love her but she's basically an avatar for the "pure" punk rock aesthetic and idiosyncratic comedy that is perceived as truly alternative. I think "the boys" feel like stooges around someone like that (or Mark Arm).
Mark Richards is more "hail fellow well met" and they can just relax.

No, it IS our fucking fault. We should be smart enough to know that it's a written article and everything can't be grasped from a tossed off quote from Jeff or Mike on how the album is going. Even if the writer sucks, it is the reader's fault for overeacting.

This is one of the most enjoyable interviews with the band I've seen. Good questions. And, really good answers. Stone & Jeff, in particular.
