FILL IN THE BLANK: IF I WASN'T A MUSICIAN, I'D BE ____________.
HSH: An out-of-work writer.
WHAT'S THE BEST MOVIE YOU'VE SEEN THIS YEAR?
HSH: Buena Vista Social Club.
IF SOMEONE OFFERED YOU THE CHANCE TO RIDE ALONG ON THE SPACE SHUTTLE, WOULD YOU GO?

HSH: Sassy.
IF YOU CAME OUT ON STAGE ONE EVENING AND NOBODY IN THE AUDIENCE HAD ANY TROUSERS ON, WHAT WOULD YOU DO?

feel alienated.
HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT YOUR PRESENT RECORD LABEL(S)? WHAT DO THEY DO THAT KEEPS YOU HAPPY?
HSH: Being a completely unknown artist, I am not signed exclusively with anyone.
However, I am pretty happy with the labels I have worked with thus far
(motorway, clover, AIP, etc.). The fact that they even want to invest money
in my music is enough to keep me happy.

be the greatest gift.
HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION?
HSH: I think the concept of public transportation is a good one. However, the
state of public transit in most states is horrible. It should be cleaner,
faster and free.
NAME A COUNTRY YOU'D LOVE TO VISIT, BUT COULD NEVER LIVE IN. EXPLAIN WHY.

interesting. However, I don't think I would be able to function for a long
period of time in such a busy place.
GIVEN THE WIDE RANGE OF CURRENCY VALUATIONS AMONG MEMBERS OF THE EUROPEAN ECONOMIC COMMUNITY, CAN THE EURO EVER BE TRULY VIABLE?
HSH: Jesus, I don't know. For the sake of giving an answer, I will say "sure
why not."
