| Magic Sandwich: What’s the most interesting thing you’ve seen/experienced at a roadside rest stop? | 
Many thanks to the lovely Quenton Hamlin for snapping the photos. |
Damian Sol: Well, you just had to go deep on the first question, didn't you? OK, here
goes. When I was touring with our old punk rock band Old Man Homo, we were
crossing burning-hot Nevada in the middle of the day on our way back to Sac,
penniless and pathetic. We paused at a rest stop, and my eagle-eye vision
spotted some familiar red-and-white boxes in the trash. A single desperate
thought ran through my heat-addled brain -- "Mmmmmmmm, KFC..."
I must have followed some hungry motherfuckers after that KFC meal, because
there was barely anything left on those sad, depleted chicken segments --
some gristle, a little skin and a few tiny bits of meat. They were even
worse then the peanut-butter-and-sugar sandwiches we had to endure in Boise,
and definitely the most interesting thing I've experienced at a rest stop.
Although I hear they have the mummified body of Jesus at a hot dog stand
near Seattle. |
| MS: If you were in a library or bookstore, what’s the first topic/section that you’d visit?
|
| DS: Either erotica, self-help or the section with all the computer books. |
| MS: After a tragic accident, doctors will replace one of your damaged body parts with bionics. What part are you getting replaced and how did the accident happen? |
| DS: After a brutal Metal-off with Kirk Hammett and the guy who writes all the
music for Metalocalypse, my left hand overheated completely, melted down and
fused with the neck of the violin. After several hours of intense surgery, I
emerged, battered but OK, with a brand new Apple iPhone affixed to my left
wrist! I mean, 'cause those iPhones are just so damn cool! |
| MS: Combine 2 appliances into one “super-appliance”. What’s it called and what can it do?
|
| DS: "The washing ma-shower." It would be a giant washing machine that would
not
only fit all my clothes at once (very convenient!), but I could also step
inside and get my pits n' bits cleaned. All while enjoying a gravity-defying
amusement park ride in the comfort of my laundry room. |
| MS: Whose ghost would be cool to have haunting your house? |
| DS: Definitely John Hartford. He could just sit in the corner and smoke his pipe
and play banjo -- he could smoke ghost joints while I smoked real joints,
and we could just play tunes all night.. Plus he could get Jerry Douglas to
the house to play dobro! |

Ah Damian, always intellectually curious...2nd Edition?! | MS: What is something computers should be able to do? |
| DS: Work as well as any single commercial for computers implies, what with their
fancy graphics and happy music. I bet they used computers to make all those
commercials, and I bet the computers crashed at least once during the
process. |
| MS: Which famous male musician has the best hair? |
| DS: That guy from Stryper had some pretty rockin' hair. Either him or J.S. Bach.
That dude had the best hair EVAR. |
| MS: What would be the best thing about having a twin? |
| DS: He could go out in the world and figure out women for me -- experience all
the rejection and pain that comes with the territory -- then come back,
dinner in hand, with a fresh paycheck strapped to his hipsack and fill me in
on all the secrets. I would, of course, be staying up late doing whatever
the fuck I wanted, since he was the one that would have to go to work in the
morning. Ha! |
| MS: Would you rather have a big zit on your nose or poison ivy on your genitals?
|
| DS: Would anyone really choose poison ivy-laden genitalia over an awesome zit
that they could explode all over the mirror? I think not! |
| MS: I'll provide the answer, you give the applicable quesiton: I used the tablecloth to wipe it up. |
| DS: What the hell did you do when your "yank the tablecloth out from under
thirty dirty bongs" magic trick went horribly awry?!? |
