You can choose to have one -- and only one -- super power. Other than gaining that power, you remain exactly the same as you are now. What super power would you pick, and why?
Dennis Driscoll: Atlantis, because it is mythological.
What was your favorite day job, and why? If you hated them all, what was the best (meaning most interesting) way you ever quit a job?
Dennis Driscoll: I like working on the family farm because it's out of doors and in nature. I wore headphones to work at a high school job and they decided I wasn't a good dishwasher after all.
We've all heard variations on the phrase "there are two kinds of people in the world... Those who (do or think something) and those who (do or think something else)". What are the two kinds of people in the world for you?
Dennis Driscoll: The half-empty glass eye people and the half-full glass eye people.
You've been given the money and resources to produce a movie biography of the most significant, influential person in your life. Who's it about, what's the story, and who plays the central character?
Dennis Driscoll: It's about my mum. My mum plays herself. My mum's real life story.
Summarize your driving ability in 25 words or less.
Dennis Driscoll: I am a scenic driver, I like to take strange routes. I take my time.
I am safe.
You're on tour, you're in an unfamiliar city, you haven't eaten in 24 hours, and due to some poor financial decisions, you have only a single unit of the local currency -- one dollar, one pound, or thereabouts. What do you eat?
Dennis Driscoll: Ramen noodles from the co-op's cheap box.
What was the last song you danced to? Who, if anyone, did you dance with?
Dennis Driscoll: To my own song, by myself. How tacky.
Post-Schwarzenegger, are there any high-profile people you'd like to see run for governor or other high office? Who and why?
Dennis Driscoll: Maybe David Byrne, but would he want to run? I do wonder.
Apart from cheeseburgers, what is the cornerstone of any nutritious breakfast?
Dennis Driscoll: Fresh fruit or vegetables.
You receive a series of e-mails stating that Grace Jones, Junior Brown, Missy Elliott, Ian MacKaye and Philip Glass are interested in a collaboration. How do you respond to each request?
Dennis Driscoll: I delete them all.
What was the last book you read and hated? Why did you hate it?
Dennis Driscoll: I can't recall... Um, The Games People Play, because the pages were falling out of the cheaply bound atrocity.
Let's assume that God is a DJ. What's on his playlist right now?
Dennis Driscoll: OMD -- the beautiful song on which the woman sings.
Who was your favourite teacher in high school? Why?
Dennis Driscoll: My art teacher... She would look the other way while we roamed the halls...
Tell us about the least likely place you ever sent a CD/demo. Why did you send it? What happened?
Dennis Driscoll: Buddy Holly's niece. She liked it and told me that she thought the first song sounded like Buddy.
Where do you think Osama Bin Laden is hiding and what would it take to get him to come out?
Dennis Driscoll: Osama is living in the White House. We have to get George Bush out of the White House and Osama will go along with him perhaps.
If you had an army of super-intelligent lab mice to do your bidding, what evil deeds would you have them do?
Dennis Driscoll: I'd have them bring food to all the starving children.

From K Records' Bio:
Dennis Driscoll is a singer/songwriter who plays guitar. Don't groan yet. He is not your average singer/songwriter who plays guitar. His songs emphasize the pop bursts of classic AM radio, where nothing exceeds three minutes and everything is said with a heart beat.
-- George Zahora
