3?aK Episode 11: Jean-Paul Gaster (Clutch)

Back in 2007, when I was the music writer for College Times, Kip Winger blew me off for an interview because he was on “vocal lockdown.” I didn’t want to see the questions I’d prepared go to waste, so for the next year, I asked everyone I interviewed if they’d be willing to get into character and answer the following “Three Questions as Kip.”

2. Can you let our readers in on your secret to maintaining the perfect 5 o'clock shadow?

(laughs) One of those beard trimmers from Wal-Mart.

3. What have you been up to for the last 15 years?
