IF YOU COULD ELECT A MUSICIAN AS PRESIDENT OF THE U.S. (OR LEADER OF YOUR HOME COUNTRY),
WHO WOULD YOU CHOOSE?
Rose Polenzani: That's funny because I swear to god I've been saying over and over to
myself, (Indigo Girl/Daemon Records honcho) AMY RAY FOR PRESIDENT.
WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE FORM OF EXERCISE?
Rose Polenzani: Running.
IF YOU COULD ISSUE ONE ALBUM OR ONE BOOK TO EVERYONE IN THE WORLD ON THEIR
THIRTEENTH BIRTHDAY, WHAT WOULD THE ALBUM/BOOK BE?
Rose Polenzani: Momo by Michael Ende. That book is a way of life.
WHERE WOULD YOU RATHER PLAY: A CLUB THAT GIVES YOU LOTS OF GREAT FREE FOOD
BUT HAS HORRIBLE BATHROOMS, OR A CLUB THAT DOESN'T FEED YOU BUT HAS HOT
SHOWERS AND BIG FLUFFY TOWELS?
Rose Polenzani: I'd rather have great food. I don't like to play with wet hair. I don't like
to nap or shower during the day. It makes me feel disoriented.
WHAT'S WRONG WITH KIDS TODAY ANYWAY?
Rose Polenzani: Too much input. Too much trust in pop culture, no sense of positive
community.
IS A FEMALE PRESIDENT THE ANSWER TO AMERICA'S PROBLEMS?
Rose Polenzani: Who are you kidding? What if she was an idiot!?
TELL US ABOUT YOUR PETS. IF YOU HAVE NO PETS, MAKE ONE UP.
Rose Polenzani: I have cat named Arthur, although she is a girl. I named her after three
things: 1) the man who gave her to me was named Arthur; 2) I lived on Arthur
street at the time; 3) I think Art Garfunkel is super sexy, and wanted her to
inherit some of his timid eroticism.
WHAT'S HARDER: PLAYING SOLO FOR AN AUDIENCE OF 1000 FOR AN HOUR, OR GIVING
A 30-MINUTE SPEECH TO THE SAME AUDIENCE
Rose Polenzani: A speech any day. I don't have much to say that I couldn't talk myself out of in a half hour.
NAME A COMMERCIAL JINGLE THAT, FOR YOU, WAS CATCHIER THAN MOST POP SONGS.
Rose Polenzani: I like the Sprite in you.
