Angry Seafood

Last week we brought you the first half of the funny interview with Don Lewis from ‘Its a Funny Thing’. Here is the second half in which Don waxes poetic about things like music and his secret for success in life.

Van Halen question- Sammy or Dave?

Sammy without a doubt. Diamond Dave gave us such banalities as “Hot for Teacher” (like who wasn’t?) and “Ice Cream Man” (Just what age group is he singing this to anyway?). But Sammy presents us with important societal protests. “I can’t drive 55″ and “Finish What Ya Started” come to mind, and who can forget “Cabo Wabo”:

“…Come on, let me take you down

I will show you around

Let me take you down

Face down in Cabo

kissing the ground.”

Gives me chills.

If you could create a polygamist cult what would be your first rules and the reasons for said rules?

Rule one: Vasectomies. This puts paid to the whole “It’s for procreation” wheeze, and allows for the selection of wives based on merit. And swimsuit competitions.

Rule two: None of the women will be allowed to speak to, or even see, one another. I find it hard enough to win an argument with one wife. I see no benefit in being gang-nagged.

How are the sales of Le Bloc going?

Unfortunately inventory has taken a serious hit. (See firewood above.) We still have a fair supply of Das Stic around (about 10,000 acres) and we’re getting ready to release the latest DONCO product: Los SawDust. (An excellent bread flour extender and pre-sale transmission additive.)

Why does Billy Corgan from Smashing Pumpkins often sound like a mewing kitten trying to sing edgy music?

When I was a grad student in the early Proterozoic, I developed a system that would allow me to get excellent grades even when my professors would ask my opinion about subjects with which I was totally ignorant. The system worked so well that I left those schools not only with degrees, but also with many suspicious and possibly obscene Latin words appended to the end of my name. And all this despite the fact that I left knowing far less than when I went in.

The system still serves me well and I recommend it highly to those going on with their education. It consists of three parts.

One, always hint to having a more intimate knowledge of the specific subject then that of the questioner.

Two, disagree with the opinion of the questioner.

and Three, allow yourself to be slowly converted to the questioners opinion by their sheer brilliance.

So, back to your question:

I’m not sure I can agree with you about Billy Corgan’s (”Binky” to those of us who used to party with him on Chicago’s south side.) vocal limitations.

On the other hand, you obviously know your music and you are a brilliant word-smith. Perhaps you’re right. Yes, I’m sure of it.

Thanks for taking the time to do this Don. Any final thoughts?

I just want to thank Angry Seafood for allowing me the opportunity to participate. I know that I have a tendency to ramble on and on, and that this Q and A session was quite a bit longer than those that have come before. I really appreciate that I wasn’t placed under some artifical word count in presenting my thoughts, and that Chris C. didn’t feel the need to limit my replies. It’s just such give and take that

Don’s question for the readers:

When a man wears a kilt sans underwear, wouldn’t “Going Battalion” be a better choice of words?
