If it makes noise, I'm interested in it. In fact, I've probably pointed a microphone at it and stored it somewhere on a digital audio tape.
Working in radio, I've already met and/or interviewed a lot of my biggest heroes, including Jack Dangers of Meat Beat Manifesto, Beck, Moby, Marilyn Manson, Gravity Kills, God Lives Underwater, Sister Machine Gun, Ministry, and Jello Biafra from the Dead Kennedys. Recently I drank beer with members of Warrant, Foreigner, Styx, and Blue Oyster Cult in the same day ... how weird is that?
