Z: If you were to write a rock opera, what would it be about?

G: Fuck writing it. Wouldn't it be more fun to be the star?

Z: If you could place one of your songs in any film, what song; what film; and why?
G: I can't think of a clever answer. But something off of our new (SWiG) cd "True Grit" in the biggest movie of 2006 would be helpful.

Z: Name three things that have saved rock-n-roll and three things have ruined it.
G: I'm not so sure rock-n-roll needs saving. I think sometimes you just need to dig a little deeper.

That aside, I would say...

1. the Suicide Girls.
2. the internet jukebox.
3. the band "SWiG", of course.

as far as ruined?

1. effects on amplifiers.
2. high ticket prices.
3. "misery" rock.

Z: What is your favorite "pick up" line?
G: I seem to have lost my phone number. Can I have yours?

G: A computer, a flask, and mookie.

Z: Best undiscovered Detroit band?
G: The Terrible Two's.

Z: Worst discovered Detroit band?
G: hmmmm...

Z: Favorite sandwich?
G: Light turkey, with bacon.

Z: What is the most pretentious thing you've overheard in a bar?
G: Not so much what I heard, but what I saw... some jackass sat down next to a female friend of mine with a wad of cash in his hand, ordered a drink for himself and proceeded to point, gesture, hug, and chat my friend up while holding the cash in the same hand he was drinking with. He was flashing so everyone could behold. All fucking night. He honestly, never put it away. I whispered to my friend, "He's all yours baby, you better not let that one get away..."

Z: Best guitar solo ever?
G: I have many. Probably too many to count. I'm sure there is something by Angus Young, Brian Setzer, Bob Stinson, Brad Shepard, etc... but I have always loved what Elliot Easton does at the end of "Bye, Bye Love."

Z: What is the worst day job you've done?
G: I have had a couple of jobs where it seemed like I was working with "America's Most Wanted." Next question please.

Z: Looking into the future, describe a day in the life of a retired Glynn Scanlan.
G: Retire? Shit. Like that's gonna get to happen. If it does, I'll be sure to throw a massive-drug based orgy.

Z: The record company only lets you thank one person on your CD: who and why?
G: Thank heaven for 7-eleven.

Z: Favorite female fashion statement, past or present?
G: Small, subtle nose rings are the shit.

Z: Favorite drink that you only drink when your way too drunk?
G: A zombie.

Z: When writing songs, what gives you greater gratification, songs that come to you in a flash or songs that you have worked on for a while?
G: I think I like the flash, but there is something gratifying about putting the finishing pieces of the puzzle together, when you're in the song for the long haul.

Z: Bernard Purdy: True or False?
G: True.

Z: The last time you passed by you full-length mirror naked, what did you think to yourself?
G: I got a great ass.

Z: What is the number of strangers that can be in an elevator with you before you feel uneasy?
G: Fill 'er up.

Z: Do you prefer being in a recording studio or being on stage? Why?
G: I love them both for different reasons...I like using my head in the studio, and I like NOT using my head when I play live.

Z: Give me a synopsis of the first time you played on stage?
G: I was young...and needed the money. It was in my early school days. In a gym or auditorium. It's a bit hazy now. My sister was there. I cracked her up. She said I was a ham.

Z: Favorite city nobody has ever heard of?
G: Cisco, Utah.

Z: What was the first rock-n-roll record that you heard?
G: I think it was "Desolation Boulevard" by Sweet.

Z: Favorite public display of affection?
G: A punch in the face is always nice...

Z: What was the first record that you bought with your own money?

G: The hurdy gurdy.

Z: G: Favorite 80's prime time soap opera?
