3?aK Episode 18: John Vanderslice

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.”

OK, now that you're up to speed, let's get on with the show. Playing the role of Kip Winger for this installment of 3?aK will be singer/songwriter John Vanderslice.

3?aK Episode 18: John Vanderslice

1. We've already seen disco and '80s synth pop make comebacks. Do you think a hair metal renaissance is right around the corner?

What? I am too confused and disorientated from abusing Class 1 drugs to know what you're talking about.

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

I am too stupid and humorless to properly field this question, let me ask my publicist... HOWARD!!! I'll get back to you.

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

Maintaining and restocking my well-trained coterie of six-year-old Filipino boys. (I use them for sex!!)
