Stupid Three Question Interview: Kyle Rector


What to say? Known this guy for twenty-five years! He invented the Beastie Boys basically, and it was with him that I first heard "For Whom the Bell Tolls." That says it all, really. More? Okay - yesterday he was wearing some suede Pumas that were so far out they were in, then out, then further out - then even further out, so that they exist only in some realm of heretofore untold freshness. M'kay?


So, since we hadn't hung out in years, we will have FOUR questions.


1. In the mid-eighties you had a 'zine for about an issue and a half called
"Blogg." Now, of course, "blogs" are everywhere. Are you owed?


Of course...who knew people would actually come up with a meaning for a
clunky-ass word like that? Check issue 2 for Active Ingredients
interview.


2. What are your feelings about H.R. right this minute?

Didn't he blockade a large part of Kingston this week? Even though the Bad
Brains remain one of my all-time faves, H.R. makes me sad. Not sure
why.

3. Would things have been different if Scott LaRock had lived?

This is a clear case of someone being showered with attention and praise
strictly for kicking the bucket. If he were alive, he'd be eating Trader Ming's
chicken spring rolls from Trader Joe's and boring all of us about the South
Bronx vs Queensbridge feud. I didn't care then!

4. Suppose you had a pet deer. What would you call it?

Probably Daryl...I heard Mr. Hall is on a mission to killer all deer cuz he
got lyme disease. For some reason, I laugh every time I think about a tick on
Daryl Hall. You will too; just picture it. Enjoy your day.


Thanks, Kyle! Look out for Joey '75!
