POWER-POP-A-LICIOUS II FESTIVAL
February 1st & 2nd, 2013
Cake Shop (152 Ludlow St., NYC)
The Whims: Not metal like Iron Maiden.
Where are you?
Right now, I’m in Florida visiting friends, family, and warmth.
Craziest thing you’ve done on a whim?
My lawyer advised years ago that I not discuss that.
How many times have people called you The Whimps?
And lived? None.
What is more power pop: Sugary background vocals or dual guitar solos?
Sugary Vocals! Dual solos are metal like Maiden!!
Favorite Paul Collins song?
The entire debut album.
Favorite flavor of cake?
Vegan cheesecake.
In what way are you better than The Psycho Hippies?
Oh, no you don’t.
What state has the best rest stop?
Wow…it’s somewhere on I-10. Maybe just west of Baton Rouge, LA. It’s where crawfish and armadillos meet.
Favorite Knack song?
“Good Girls Don’t”.
What is the best advice you ever got?
Aim for the throat.
