Reasons you like playing with Sellout? -  the band mates,  the energy, sellout following - it's the only time i can wear 4" platform shoes and an earring(clip-on) and get away with it, rarely is a gig more than 3 hours, the insanity of seeing this cast of characters jumping around making music - spectacular.

 

quotes your friends say about you playing with sellout: "not sure about the earring",   "can u put me and a guest on the guest list", when are you playing in KC?, "could you wear the Spock ears with the Elton hat, do the shoes hurt your feet, how come Marylin doesn't wear shoes when she sings? - where did devo guy get his hat?, who is the percussionist supposed to be, don't call it a keytar - its a synth tar!, how come you don't ever play the harmonica?

 

Funnest time with Sellout so far - driving back from a gig in Salina with Nick (Slash), Dash (?) and Steve (Gene). I don't recall ever laughing as hard in my life. If it would have been recorded it would be a HBO comedy hit and start a reality series that would show world wide!
