3?aK Episode 47: Marshall "Fucking" Beck (Rebirth, Reign of Vengeance)

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 Phoenix heavy metal singer and concert promoter Marshall "Fucking" Beck.

3?aK Episode 47: Marshall "Fucking" Beck (Rebirth, Reign of Vengeance)

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

Well you know, there’s a lot of, uh, you know, gay stuff going around these days, especially “Queer Eye for the Straight Guy,” stuff like that. So I believe, you know, we can make a comeback.

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

Keep as many little boys around as possible so that you can touch them and they can help you maintain it.

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

I’ve been spending a lot of time in rainbow bars and, uh, drinking, you know, pink martinis and just been very busy with that kind of stuff, you know? Dancing disco by myself in my room while masturbating in front of the mirror.
