Vegemite, Promite or Marmite?
I actually prefer the beef extract spread made IN
AUSTRALIA, BY AUSTRALIA PROUDLY FOR AUSTRALIANS, at
Jika Jika Maximum Security Prison by Gary David, the
famous self-mutilator. It's chunkier.
In all honesty have you referred to a woman as a
Shelia?
My Mother's name was Sheila.
Have you ever taken a dump in a worksite portaloo?
Are you kidding? Ever been backstage at the Big Day
Out? There I am, trying desperately to force out a
particularly nasty hospitality-tent-lentil-surprise,
and people keep banging on the fucking door so they
can come in and chase the fucking dragon! What is it
with drugs and toilets? And as for the Livid Festival,
we played at the Brissy Showgrounds in the early 90s,
and the toilets there were like some kind of charnel
house, full of indie kids smearing street-poo all over
the walls. I thought I was back at St Joey's Primary
School in Springvale. I never crapped in six years
there. No wonder I sing like the guy in Nickleback,
what's his name? Chad Grogan?
Have you ever twisted the cap off a beer with your eye
socket (or tried to)?
Look, I don't know if you think I'm some kind of Jon
Butler type. I've heard Jon does tricks with stubbies
and his legion of groupies backstage whilst having a
big mixed grill after the show.
Do you own a pair of stubbies?
Ask Jon.
Do you fart proudly in the company of your girlfriend?
See above.
Do you consider tomato sauce to be the ultimate
condiment?
Jon Butler is rumoured to have said the one thing that
goes with everything is a pair of hooker's tits.
What comes to mind when you think of AC/DC?
I think of the pre-game entertainment at the 1980 VFL
Grand Final between Richmond and Collingwood, when
Peter Allen ran out in a red jump-suit and performed
'I Go To Rio', complete with shakers and
head-tossing�100,000 of the most in-bred,
mis-shapen-headed, wife-beating cro-magnum
man-supporters in this country were, for the only time
in their life, feeling a sense of unity.
What is your preferred greeting?
I still call Australia homophobic.
Musically, do you have some advice for emerging
artists?
Play something NEW, fuckwits, or I hope you suffer an
accidental genitalectomy with a kitchen wiz.
