Beckeye<\/a> shot me what I can safely describe as a series of “goddamned hard questions” in response to my interview with her.<\/p>\n

I was sitting on them for a little bit, but I gotsta just publish my answers.<\/p>\n

1. I’ve been dying to pick up this book, “This is Your Brain on Music: The Science of a Human Obsession.” It’s a scientific look at how the human brain processes music and attempts to explain why certain pieces of music prompt such visceral reactions in certain people. Without the benefit of a Ph.D. in neuroscience, how would you explain the mysterious hold that music can have over so many of us?<\/span><\/p>\n

You see, *this* is why I have taken so long to answer your interview questions. My God. I get overwhelmed just thinking about this. Music and its relationship to me is a complete mystery. My reaction to music is almost primal. I’m definitely connecting to it more than on an intellectual level, even more than an emotional level. I am baffled, and unable to answer.<\/p>\n

I’m sorry. I just don’t know. It’s like food, water, sun. It washes over me, and I flourish.<\/p>\n

2. I have a hard time listening to “summertime” music once summer is over. Now that September is here, what playlist would you suggest to get everyone in the mood for Fall?<\/span><\/p>\n

Funny you should ask! Volume 6 of the Green Monkey Music Project is going to be called “I Can’t Wait For Halloween”.<\/p>\n

Other than Halloween, I think country, or music with a country tinge – Johnny Cash, George Jones, Carter Family, Grateful Dead, etc. – fits nicely as the air gets chillier.<\/p>\n

3. You say that you love fart jokes. Have you heard the one about Britney, Roman Polanski and the dramatic chipmunk on a cruise ship? I haven’t either. Please make it up now.<\/span><\/p>\n

So much pressure! Okay, here goes.<\/p>\n

On a European cruise, a drunk, bald Britney Spears with a bushy young chipmunk on her head staggers up to an inebriated Roman Polanski lounging in a deck chair. Britney slurs, “Mustr Pulaski, I’d lurve to be in one ub you mooveees…I do ANYting.”<\/p>\n

Polanski, looks her up and down. “You’re a little old for me,” Polanksi replies, “But I might have a role for your sexy young chipmunk.”<\/p>\n

Then everyone spontaneously farts.<\/span><\/p>\n

4. While looking through your archives, I actually busted my gut upon seeing that photo of Satanic Al Pacino on “Inside the Actor’s Studio.” I have no health insurance. Are you gonna pay for that?<\/span><\/p>\n

Don’t you know there is no insurance in the US that covers gutbusting? What, you think we have socialized medicine here?<\/p>\n

5. What are your favorite slang terms for male and female genitalia?<\/span><\/p>\n

Note:<\/span> I don’t recall ever actually using these words in conversation (polite or otherwise).<\/p>\n

Male: Noodle
Female: Booger<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
