Interview Questions
What are the best questions you've been asked in interviews? What was it that made 'em good? Do you prefer a question that requires a great deal of thought about your musical intentions, or one that allows you to mention a few buzzwords and hit your talking points? What questions would you ask your favorite band, if you had the opportunity?

don't you find that you more often get asked not so good questions - particularly - 'how do you write your songs' AND 'WHERE DO YOU GET YOUR IDEAS FROM?'
always impossilbe to answer - and tempting to give a daft reply.
I'm not ashamed to say that on occasion we have made up some entirely fictious accounts....got asked once where we had found our fiddle player...and we said we found her homeless, not speaking English only welsh, and playing a fiddle, so we took her home .........
sure nobody else has any bad habits like this......... -

Um, I'm guilty of tellin' a few different stories about my name, the truth jes' gets so old, after a while. How I write is easy and where to get ideas; I think those are good questions, likely to lead to at least an interesting answer, if not an honest one, heh. I'm also fond of the ol' James Lipton chestnut about, "What would you do/be if not for music?" I usually say I'd be dead or in prison, but sometimes, for a goof, I'll say "forest ranger" or "the guy in the hairnet that makes the jimmies that go on the ice cream".
