Nice shirt. It’s a Salvation Army cowboy shirt. That’s where I get all my clothes.
Your glasses are fun, too. I inherited my father’s frames when he died, and they were kind of like these. [The frames] totally disintegrated, so I went to an optometrist and got these frames and lenses for $40.
You sound a lot like Johnny Cash. Is he one of your influences? Johnny Cash -- that and a pack of Winstons a day.
Who else do you like for music? I go through phases. Right now I’m in a Who phase. I just got “The Kids Are Alright,” the movie. I also like The Monks and The Flamin’ Groovies.
What would you be doing if you weren’t here tonight? I’d probably be holding down the couch. I’m kind of a movie fanatic. I’m a horror movie freak. I just saw “Red Dragon,” the Hannibal Lecter movie. My favorite all-time horror movie is “Dawn of the Dead.” I have the press kit, the novel, and three versions of the movie. We just did a Halloween show, and I made up the whole band to look like zombies.
