Another interview

This time it's psychochicken

1) Desert Island, all time, top 5 albums

Tricky...
Billy Bragg - Back to Basics
Dick Gaughan - struggling to choose between Handful of Earth and Live in Edinburgh. I think the latter on balance.
Britten - The War Requiem. The original Britten/Pears/Fischer-Dieskau/Vishnevskaya recording.
Mozart - The Marriage of Figaro. The Giulini, Schwarzkopf, Taddei, Moffo recording.
Shostakovich. Can I have all the string quartets? I don't know which ones I would choose if I was forced.

2) If you could remove one person, and their effects on the world, from history who would it be and why?

I answered this before with Jesus of Nazareth. I see no reason to change.

3) Name something you own which is worthless but impossibly precious to you. If it's not too personal, say why.

This would have to be my darling stray moggie Jane. She means more to me than I know how to say. If it's got to be something inanimate, I'd go with my bear, Shellshock. He was my first Christmas present so he's almost as old as me and he's swum the Atlantic.

4) What was the last thing you said to a complete stranger?

"Yes". On being asked if I had an AirMiles card at the LCBO.

5) Tell me something that went on tour, and has hitherto stayed on tour.

I can't of course say anything about other people's experiences as that would violate the code. Unfortunately I'm a dull tourist, tour infrequently and don't have adventures. The nearest would be the afternoon spent in a hot tub with the Mid Atlantic Selects women's team. Chiefly notable for the degree of detail used by their captain in describing her sexual experiences with just about every other girl on the team.

I fear your definition of "dull" and "no adventures" is different from the norm...
