What is your least favorite article of clothing, and why?
Charles Feelgood: My least fav is any suit. I hate wearing suits and I'm glad the only time I
have to wear a suit is when someone gets married or dies!
What's so funny about peace, love and understanding?
Charles Feelgood: I don't know anyone who has all three.
If you could remove 20cc's of fat from one part of your body and inject
it into another, where would the fat come from/go to?
Charles Feelgood: Let's pretend I know how much 20 cc's is. In that case it would go from my
@3$*#! to my &%$#@* so I could #$@&%* harder!
What three essential accessories would be in your dream tour van/vehicle?
Charles Feelgood: A toilet I could take a dump in (while on the Moonshine tour bus in summer,
2000, I found out I couldn't take a poo in the loo -- after I pooed in the loo!),
a shower and my laptop.
Which is more frightening: a venue full of people who don't like your
music, or a room full of two-year-olds? Why?
Charles Feelgood: The first. I once had a lady ask me for WhiteSnake in Richmond, Virginia -- and she was as frightful as they come! Yeah, Mullets Rock!
What's the best venue you've ever played? What's the worst? Why?
Charles Feelgood: I think the best Venue is Florida 135 in Spain, and the worst was this club
in France called "Stardust" where in 1997 the entire dance floor cleared
after I put on the first record. I was so embarrassed I almost left my
Beret in the booth.
What was the last thing you watched on television? How did you like it?
Charles Feelgood: I watched Top Gun before I flew out today -- the eighties rule.
Describe your dream vacation.
Charles Feelgood: My dream vacation would be Hawaii -- one pair of board shorts, a bottle of
Jack and my flip flops.
Does everyone need to own a computer? Why or why not?
Charles Feelgood: Nah. I tried to sell my parents on getting one. They don't want one and don't need one. They get by fine without it.
What activities (or whatever) are currently illegal, but in your opinion
shouldn't be? What activities are legal, but should be outlawed?
Charles Feelgood: Smoking the greena-rella and racial profiling.
Who should be the leader of the free world?
Charles Feelgood: That's an easy one -- Ben Stiller.
You have an eight-hour trip to your next gig. You're not driving, and
you're not sleepy. You have the option of reading a book, listening to an
album,
watching a movie or playing a video game. Which do you choose? And what is
the
book/album/movie/game in question?
Charles Feelgood: I'd watch Gladiator for the 20th time -- Russell is the joint.
What was the best live rock show you ever saw?
Charles Feelgood: I saw the Black Crowes and Big Audio Dynamite in one night and they were the
best mushroom...ahem. I mean, rock bands I ever saw!
You're in an elevator with Mariah Carey, Marilyn Manson and George W.
Bush. The elevator becomes trapped between floors. What happens next?
Charles Feelgood: Who are these Marilyn Manson and George W what's-his-face characters?
You've been given the opportunity to play -- all expenses paid -- in a
foreign country that
bands don't normally get to visit. You get to pick the country. Where do
you go?
Charles Feelgood: Egypt.
What food item do you always eat, even though you shouldn't? And why
shouldn't you be
eating it?
Charles Feelgood: Mayonnaise -- it puts an extra 20cc's on my stomach.
Your favorite broken-up band is going to reunite for one show only at the
venue of your
choice (yes, we know this is implausible. Who cares?). Who's the band,
and what's the
venue?
Charles Feelgood: Hall and Oates at House of Blues, New Orleans.
Is the Internet destroying the English language?
Charles Feelgood: Que?
Several US states have adopted "three strikes and you're out" laws, which
basically mean
that after you're found guilty of three felonies, you're imprisoned for
life. How do you
feel about that? Is it effective lawmaking, or needlessly harsh?
Charles Feelgood: Considering I'm on my second strike and watching my ass every day, I'd say it's
very effective!

From the official bio: Charles Feelgood put the Baltimore and Washington
DC rave scene on the map. Back in 1990, with his then partner Scott Henry, Feelgood co-produced and launched his now legendary hometown club Fever, introducing Baltimore/DC to featured DJs including
Sven Vath, Dave Clark and Derrick Carter. As quoted in the September, 2000 issue of Urb, "Fever went on to form the cornerstone of the Baltimore/DC rave scene". It was through Fever that Feelgood embarked on a DJing career that has so far extended over a decade, which shows no signs of slowing down.
