Edgars Legzdins: New Order -- of course.
What is your worst memory of elementary school? Of high school?
Edgars Legzdins: I pissed in my pants in first and third grade. High School -- missing my yearbook picture day.
You're about to -- ahem -- get lucky. What album is playing in the background? Why'd you choose it?
Edgars Legzdins: Something of Wilco's. It's soothing to listen to and helps me go to sleep.
What was the first thing you ever shoplifted? Why did you take it?
Edgars Legzdins: A mannequin. It was hot.
If you could beat up anyone in the world and get away without the usual annoying real-world consequences -- jail time, lawsuits, bad press, etc. --who would it be, and why?
Edgars Legzdins: Myself, no-one else will.
What's the biggest risk you've ever taken? Why did you take it?
Edgars Legzdins: Stealing a mannequin. It was hot.
It's better to regret something you have done than it is to regret something you haven't done. What do you regret doing (other than agreeing to answer these questions)? Why did you do it?
Edgars Legzdins: I regret buying these maroon shorts at Marshall's. What the hell am I going to do with maroon shorts? They were $11.99 so I got sucked into a good buy.
Did you go to your high school prom? If so, who did you go with?
Edgars Legzdins: No, but this angel opened the door for me once. My girlfriend at the time was dating some college kid, so I'm sure she went with him.
What movie would you recommend to absolutely anyone? Why?
Edgars Legzdins: Meet the Parents. DeNiro and Stiller -- f'n hilarious.

Edgars Legzdins: Madonna -- yum.
You're on your way to a show, and all of a sudden you find yourself in the middle of a huge four-way battle between pirates, ninjas, robots and intelligent apes from the future. Your only hope of getting to your gig is to pick a side. Who do you join, and why?
Edgars Legzdins: The pirates, cause they've got whiskey. Though I don't drink anymore, it would still be cool to hang out with drunk pirates. I miss pirates.
If you could sponsor any beverage -- appear in their ads, receive a lifetime supply and never be seen drinking a competing product -- what beverage would it be?
Edgars Legzdins: Water needs more exposure. There's so much shit out there these days -- cherry this, grape that. You can't beat water. Plus it goes with everything. Plus what beverage has multiple uses? The cross marketing with water is limitless. "Use this beverage to make stuff grow." You can't make shit grow with Coke or Pepsi.
Why are frogs amusing?
Edgars Legzdins: Cause they haven't seen the ocean.
You've traveled back in time and met yourself, age sixteen. What do you think?

Edgars Legzdins: Pizza -- it tastes good.
Will the next Star Wars movie suck? Why or why not?
Edgars Legzdins: Yeah, the dude who makes them has lost his soul with all this computerized mumbo jumbo. Nothing looks real, it all looks like a cartoon. What happened to filming real trolls in some swamp in Louisiana?
How many roads must a man walk down before they call him a man?
Edgars Legzdins: One -- the straight one.

Edgars Legzdins: The Cars' Greatest Hits.
