I've often wondered around this sort of thing -- at what point and why did you start filming, and at what point (if they differ) did you realize you were making a documentary?

Max, for five dollars I will sell you this xanax, and we can go to the waffle house and talk about aliens and it'll be chronic.

Okay, got my witty one liner out of the way.

MB -- I discovered you in a lovely midwestern Jewish summer camp in which to be a Cool Kid was to know every line of Wow, I Can Get Sexual Too and particularly to shout the Rabbi line. In order to be a cool kid, I listened to every SA song out at the time. It did not make me cool, but it did start a lifelong obsession and I haven't missed a tour since. Your Jewish identity was really interwoven with your music early on, at least on an ironic level -- what's your connection to your Jew-y-ness like, these days?

Both of you -- what line of lyric best represents where your band/life was at ten years ago, and what now?

Missouri has been a big center of community organizing around BLM. A lot of good work has been done there--and a lot of it has turned violent, on both sides (though largely outside of official protests on that end). Could you talk a bit about your views both on race relations in StL, particularly with police force, as well as the way protests are planned/operated/handled?

I'd be interested in how race plays into your plans for education, too! In county schools growing up, black students were mostly referred to as "city kids" and were there because their parents appealed for them to attend our districts because the school systems in the city were so bad. That racial divide in who had access to good education was very obvious.

Literally just Google it. A ton of women came out about his really gross/abusive treatment of them on and off set. It was like what has happened with a few folks with #metoo now, only years before.
