WHAT WAS THE FIRST ALBUM YOU EVER BOUGHT, AND DO YOU STILL LISTEN TO IT?
Dave Woody: When I was 13 I went out and purchased Paul Simon's Graceland. And to
this day when I'm feeling nostalgic I'll pull it out and sing "Diamonds on
the Soles of her Shoes" over and over again.
WHAT WAS YOUR FAVORITE TOY WHEN YOU WERE GROWING UP?
DW: Legos, definitely Legos.
WHAT BOOK ARE YOU CURRENTLY READING?
DW: I'm currently reading Gravity's Rainbow by Thomas Pynchon and I've already
decided to re-read it as soon as I'm finished so I can just barely start to
figure it out.
ARE YOU MORE LIKE R2-D2 OR C-3PO?
DW: R2-D2 for sure. 3PO's cool, but he's just such a weiner.
IF YOU WERE OFFERED THE CHANCE TO RIDE ALONG ON THE SPACE SHUTTLE, WOULD YOU GO?
DW: If I ever got to go into space I don't think that you would be able to get
me to leave.
TELL US ABOUT THE WORST AUDIENCE YOU'VE EVER PLAYED TO.
DW: I don't think it was the audience's fault on this occasion, but... We were
playing down in Tallahassee, Florida last summer. Right before we got to the
club we called to confirm the location and the people sounded super weird. I
guess the night before it had rained super hard and the roof had collapsed
and flooded the whole club, and when we pulled up to the door one of the
guys who worked there was sweeping out all this water into the street. They
had to jerry-rig the electricity to work because the fuse box was in about 6
inches of water so the threat of electrocution was looming everytime we
touched anything metallic. I don't know why they went on with the show, but
a few people showed up later and eventually the bands we opened up for had a
nice crowd, but we played to about 3 people and the sound of squishy
carpeting.
IF YOU COULD HAVE ANY MEAL FROM ANYWHERE, WHAT WOULD IT BE?
DW: I would find the taco stand that we went to in L.A. this one time and live
in my car next to it so that it would be the only food I ate forever and
ever.
WHAT'S THE DEAL WITH ALL THIS GANGSTA RAP?
DW: You know, keepin' it real, nobody's gonna just come along and hand out
money to nobody in the hood, if you want to be hardcore you have to sing
about it.
HOW OLD WERE YOU THE FIRST TIME YOU USED THE PHRASE "BACK WHEN I WAS YOUR AGE"?
DW: I think I said that one time when talking to my friend who had just turned
twenty-one; we were at a bar and I was boasting about how much I had
consumed on my twenty first birthday, only it sounded something like "brack
en why'z wore age (hiccup-vomit)..."
WHICH COULD YOU LIVE WITHOUT MORE READILY: TELEVISION OR HAIR CARE PRODUCTS?
DW: Television would be fairly easy to live without, but I always have to look
my best.
WHAT WAS YOUR MAJOR IN COLLEGE?
DW: My major was English (Alright Dave! - Ed.). Originally it was Philosophy and I was going to do the
whole intellectual approach to school, but then I realized I'm not that
intelligent so I switched to something super easy.
ARE YOU A DOG PERSON OR A CAT PERSON?
DW: Probably a dog person. Don't get me wrong -- I love cats, and I have one of my
own, but she hates to wrestle and if you call her she just meows and walks
away.
HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT BRUSSELS SPROUTS?
DW: I prefer them with butter.
NAME THREE PEOPLE YOU REALLY ADMIRE.
DW: My Dad, my sister and my ex-girlfriend.
IF YOU COULD LIVE AT ANY POINT IN THE PAST, WHEN AND WHERE WOULD YOU LIVE?
DW: If it had to be some point in the past, I would live in the sixties inside
the head of Buzz Aldrin. That way I'd for sure get to go into space plus I'd
get the added bonus of walking on the moon.
