So that's why one of my rules of parody writing is that it's gotta be funny regardless of whether you know the source material. It has to work on its own merit.

Whenever I do a parody it's not meant to make you hate anybody's music really.

My personal taste doesn't enter into it a lot when I make my decisions as to what to parody.

People never ask people doing serious music, 'Do you ever think about doing funny music?'

What kind of morons do you have working at newspapers in Austin that would base an entire review of an artist's performance on whether or not they had a good seat?

As it turns out, there is a thing called the Internet, and stuff does go out there whether the suits like it or not.
