Something like that.
That
was my impersonation.
It was good.
Did you _ _ _ _ study to be a mime I heard.
I was about seven.
There you are.
That's all you're getting out of me.
Yeah. _ _
_ I _ _ _ don't push me.
What?
_ _ _ _ I _ _ _ _ _ _ _
around 17 I realized I was _ a mime
trapped in a man's body.
_ So I mean this is really quite embarrassing to talk about you know anything
to do with mime in America is embarrassing to talk because you get killed by clowns over here.
Yeah.
According to Bob Goldflake.
No but there's some good mimes you probably would have been a good mime.
It was it was kind of a
revolutionary company that I was with.
Uh-huh.
And because I spoke. _ _ _ _
_ Well that's not a mime.
_ _ That's why
they were revolutionary.
No wait and also you tried to you'd study to be a monk.
_ _ _ Yeah I realized one day when I was
around 18 that I was a monk in a mime's body. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Yes I kind of you know I you know I was young fancy-free and Tibetan
Buddhism appealed to me at that time.
I thought there's salvation.
_ _ It didn't really work.
Then I went through Nietzsche
_ _ _ Satanism Christianity pottery _ _ _ and ended up singing. _
_ _ There's been a long road. _ _
_ Tell _ me about the tour. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ We've had some real fantastic sartorial moments recently.
In fact over the last couple of days.
And we have a rabbit that
follows us around on tour.
It's a big pink bunny.
And he is always at the front.
I thought it was just a real big bunny.
You know
like I thought well it's rock and roll.
You know it's just a five foot three bunny thing.
And then we got the plane out one
night from one.
And the bunny was on the plane.
_ It's still in the costume.
_ _ I kid you not. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ I've never met you before but you're
high as a cat's whisker.
