Questions from beyond_bananas
1) You can throw/ organise any sort of musical event. What do you organise? Where? When? How do you have playing? etc…
I once had the idea of putting together a kind of teenage outfit who played songs I wrote. However, in reality, I’ve tried leading a band. Not an experience I’d repeat. So I’d opt to be the songwriter and hire someone else to organise and promote it J
2) After doing such a superb job organising 1) you are whisked away (temporarily) to what ever follows this life by the God(s)/ Goddess etc… Where you are asked to make a Music Hall of Fame, and a Music Hall of Shame, Who do you put in each?
Hall of fame: Madonna, David Bowie, Elton John, The Pixies
Shame: R Kelly, Nelly, Aqua,
I may add to these as I remember more stunning/stunningly awful outfits.
3) What do you consider your biggest accomplishment and biggest failure to date, and why?
Accomplishments... my degree, varied work experience and developing my musical skills since the age of about 6 are my main ones. No-one can ever take away my brain, my musical ability or my experience.
Failure: I’ve been really racking my brains over this. Because I don’t think I could count mistakes as ‘failure’s. The thing about failure is I like the way NVQs are marked. No-one ever fails, they have just not yet reached competence. Mistakes are things we learn from and are essential to make in order to become better people.
If I could change one thing, looking back, I would have escaped my school earlier. But I really do wonder if it would have made me better today, even if those sixth form years were better (and with more blokes in school/college - any, in fact ;-)).
One thing I think of regularly is how one minor decision can have a huge impact on the rest of our lives…..affecting our subsequent choices, who we meet at that important age etc…
4) What would your ideal day entail?
Swimming in the sea, eating, shagging someone who I care about and cares about me. Maybe watching a film.
5) You can spend the day in any book/cartoon/ film or T.V. series, where would you go and what do you do?
The Dice Man sounded interesting, this guy who runs his life by the throw of a dice. It’s based on the assumption that we always do what we, say, 75% feel like or think that we should be doing. The other 25% of possibilities go by the wayside, even though they may have led life in an even more interesting direction.
With dice living, 25% of the time, the dice would roll doing whatever it was that was also kicking round his brain. It got bad when it involved stuff of a immoral nature, but I wouldn’t do it for too long and keep it relatively nice! (of course, if it’s just a book then there would be no consequences anyway?)
