Cracky

What made you get into Rock N' Roll?

Well considering that I grew up with my father on the road and was born into the music scene... I guess you can say my whole life!

What was your first rock concert and what was the experience like for you?

First rock concert was with my folks and all I can remember is fuckin April Wine or some shit really out there. It was a festival and I didn't want it to end.

God, can you imagine me rockin out to some fuckin April Wine that is to funny... almost at bad as owning a Dexie's Midnight Runners t-shirt... which no I don’t!

What is your five all time favorite albums (CDs)?

1. Rolling Stones - Sticky Fingers
2. Led Zeppelin - II/III
3. Black Flag - My War
4. Bob Dylan - Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits (67)
5. MC5 - Back in the USA

Who are your five favorite bands?

1. Rolling Stones
2. Led Zeppelin
3. Black Flag
4. Bob Dylan (rules my world)
5. Velvet Underground

What is your all time favorite song and why?

Okay this is totally a hard question but I would have to go with Mr. Tambourine Man by Bob Dylan it’s the one song that always makes me smile no matter what kind of shit is going on............. not to mention Bob is definitely one of the coolest cats out there! Ha Ha

Do you play an instrument? If so, what & how long? Also are you in a band, who is it?

Yeah I play rhythm guitar and sing for a band soon to come out called Drugstore Cowgirl. I have been teaching myself guitar for about 3 years never wanted to before since I grew up in the whole rat race but sometime’s you just can't change your fate!

I have been singing since I was 4... hell yeah I was rockin Jack and Jill and all those stellar songs that kids dig... but I had to be video taped and had to watch it asap! hahaha

If you can go back in time, who would you like to have seen perform live?

Hmmmm... I would say Elvis in his early years that guy kicked ass!

If you could put the ultimate rock show together with three bands, who would it be?

Rolling Stones
Led Zeppelin
Bob Dylan
Okay I think I would cream myself for sure hahahaha that would be a show that I wouldn't even be able to take my eyes from the stage for even a second!

Do you think there's any bands out today can make rock n' roll big in the mainstream again?

I totally think so, I have this conversation with many of my friends, who is going to be the next cat that is going to make a revolution... I think its something totally left up to fate, but we all make our dents!

What do you think rock n' roll is missing today?

I think its missing rock n rollers, truth is everyone is trying so hard to be everything but themselves meaning they lack being REAL! Plus running around trying to be Johnny Thunders isn't as rock n roll as you think or being a Stiv! I think people get rock n rollers mixed up with posers!

What is your definition rock n' roll?

Well rock n roll is about having your head in the clouds AND being grounded, it’s about no rules, living life to the fullest and taking chances! Rock n roll is a statement not a mock.

What is your choice of poison (drink) while enjoying rock n' roll?

My choice of poison all around is Whiskey (my brothers fault)... mostly Jack but I definitely enjoy my whiskey either way!

Any last words or thoughts about rock n roll?

I would just say rock n roll is in the heart and lets get a fucking revolution started damnit! See you all on the road!
