Absolutely! Travis has lost hours of sleep over this, and he will appreciate your apology! ;) ;)

Truly gone fishing is a term used in a Pink Floyd song that represented losing your mind and an amalgam is a mishmash of things, so to me, the phrase is a tangible version of insanity. But I could just be making shit up.

It was to have a place to park the car and watch the world end with your loved one.

I was trying to be romantic!

You're full of shit, lol! I do use the 12-string guitar! In all fairness, you may have gone to a show where I didn't use it...but I usually use it in the chorus A to C section or the last line of the song when the Whoa Whoa Whoa's are happening. Regardless, we all know that is a gimmick guitar:)

Yes. I did!

I don't get sick of it at all, but I also know there is an end-date for this hair... and it might be soon. So get those questions in now... WHILE YOU STILL CAN!

My favorite live acts...when I saw Pink Floyd in 1994, that was the show that solidified what I wanted to do with my life. Unfortunately it wasn't the original lineup because they were missing Roger, but whatever. Seeing something like that and then going years later and seeing something like At The Drive In in a small venue, was inspiring. I saw The Flaming Lips recently and that was so much fun.

My favorite superhero is probably the Batman. I think he's my favorite because he has such a rich rogues gallery...so many villains that deepen his mythology. And I can't answer this question without throwing some kisses to Wolverine.

I didn't know about my dad's addiction until my teenage years. When I was a kid, I think I wouldn't have understood what addiction meant anyway. I've had a good relationship with my father always. He was a good father and a good provider for our family. Unfortunately, he just had this flaw, but I think that's something that made him work harder to try to compensate for in terms of making sure we were provided for. I guess that's kind of a unique situation, so I sympathize with people who aren't so fortunate.

  1. No. I'm still an anxious fuck. :)

  2. Gravity's Union. When I was writing that tune before any of the band was on it, I remember sitting in the Beige listening to that song and air drumming on it. I was tearing up because the song meant so much to me.

  3. I have been starving myself and putting myself into acidosis. This is not good seeing as how I have acid reflux, so I do not recommend it. Please eat.

  4. I would like to see that happen, but I can't give that away just yet...maybe there's an Afterman: Neverender in your future. Woo!

  5. Unfortunately there are no spots left on the Coheed crew--unless you want to be pitted against Dave Gibney in a ladder match.
