Heaven to me is percussion and bass, a screaming guitar and a burbling Hammond B-3 organ. It's a soup I love being immersed in.
This is just the beginning, ... Obviously we're going to have the House of Blues Foundation involved in subsidizing the employees' down there livelihood.
I think I'm a narcoleptic. I could sleep on a railway track with a train running over me, in-between the rails.
I had a slight touch of Tourette's, which means you talk to yourself and bark and cry out at night.
I not only believe, I believe that there are many different species of ships, there are many different species of extraterrestrials, and not all of them are up to good.
American Society for Psychical Research Journals were all around the house when I was a kid.
I get really grinchy right up until Christmas morning.
I accept sceptics, you've got to have challenges.
I'd make a bad preacher.
I grew up on the edge of a national park in Canada - timberwolves, creeks, snow drifts.
When I was sixteen I was pretending to be Charlie Musselwhite. I had a long raincoat on, my hair slicked back, and the shades.
Personally, I liked working for the university. They gave us money and facilities. We didn't have to produce anything. You've never been out of college. You don't know what it's like out there! I've worked in the private sector ... they expect results!
I am a Spiritualist, a proud wearer of the Spiritualist badge. Mediums and psychic research have gone on for many, many years.
Comedy makes everything accessible. Watching the news is kind of like being fed your evening pill. What's fun about it? Nothing. And so if you can get news and information about things going on in the world through a comic platform, everything's going to connect.
