A response from an original member of The Meat Puppets. Crazy!
You can listen to him on web radio here.
And you can read his words about the varied aspects of life here. (Thanks to Chris King for the hook-up.)
One. Which of the seven deadliest sins make for the best art?
I believe that something is considered as sin if it robs you of your essence, wastes your time, and takes you out of yourself. Therefore, the practice of sin is what keeps you from doing your work. However, the contemplation of sin could lead to great art.
Two. For what are you going to need a little more evidence?
I’m currently compiling evidence as to how I got here. I confess, I still have more than I few more gaps to fill in.
Three. For personal creativity (or productivity), are you better served by contentment or restlessness?
Contentment. Its fleeting moments gives me pause to recharge and collect myself for the next bout with effort.
Four. Likeliest occurrence within your lifetime: true peace, total war, or the arrival of spacemen/spacewomen?
TRUE peace occurs EVERY day. It’s all around us.
Five-a: You lost it as a child and you want it back.
I regret the loss of every day, but if you want the honest answer, I’d say that the day in 1967 when my parents told me they were divorcing is the great line of demarcation in my life. I was six years old and that day was when I learned that life had the potential to be truly dreadful.
