Americans don't like Bud/Miller.

How about of the the better American beers? Ever tried one of out microbrews that you liked?

[real talk]

Americans love Bud and Miller, actually.

[boarderwoozel3]

Drink =/= love.

(Or at least I hope not.)

[real talk]

At some point in every subversive American's life, said American comes to terms with the fact that they are sadly not representative of the mass of people citizen to this country.

[real talk]

BUT THIS IS NOT ABOUT SUBVERSIVE AMERICANS SORRY HAL

[boarderwoozel3]

You're right, perhaps I should rephrase. We coastal media elite don't like Bud/Miller.

What would you tell a non Coachella (meaning they have no interest) friend about this picture?:

[fiyahhh!]

Sonofhal,
Please take us on a journey through the musical phases of your life. How has your taste in music evolved over time? Which bands were your "gateway drugs" that got you into different genres of music?

[sonofhal]

this is the first question ive ever posted so bare with me.
so as i can see your from london, how is the activist movement out there?
i know you get lots of cool art out there, but every time some type of revolutionary action passes around its always on your side of the hemisphere. does it bother you, do you participate or am i just crazy?

We don't put up with shit. Either that, or we just like to smash stuff up.

I did get caught up in a riot in Hyde Park purely by accident once. Never plan a soccer game on the same day as a demonstration is planned.

[sonofhal]

I think I'm in love

Hal, what are some of your favorite scifi movies and why?

I'm not into effects and all that twoddle. Stick me in front of Outland, Dark Star, Silent Running, 2001 or something similar and i'm a happy camper.

Hooliganism: a big problem over there?

[algunz]

Tell us about the first time you rode a bicycle or at least the first good memory of you and bikes.

I like the microbrews a hell of a lot more than that other stuff. I am also partial to a Sam Adams or a Brooklyn from time to time.

I thought it was a queue for free teeth whitening, so i tagged on the end.

I think drugs may have been the gateway drugs that got me into quite a few bands, rather than the other way around.

The soundtrack to my movie is probably a fair history of my taste.

[sonofhal]

Hooliganism: a big problem over there?

Not for a long time. it's still big in Italy and most of eastern Europe though, if your looking to get involved. I always thought you might be a secret hard knock.

[sonofhal]

Odd question. I used to have a chopper. I have no specific memories of bikes. They are inefficient for performing a driveby, though.

Your teeth were looking a little dingy.

The pain question: What's the worst physical pain you experienced? Story please.

[seandlr]

Sonofhal, do you have a favorite childhood memory? If so, what is it and why?

[sonofhal]

The pain question: What's the worst physical pain you experienced? Story please.

To keep things teeth related, many years ago i was at a work related conference at Eurodisney. The evening before i was due to fly back i got pretty horrific toothache. There was no medication available at the resort, so i just hammered back some Scotch and thought i'd deal with it in the morning.

The next day i was still in pain, but had to go catch my flight back to London. I got home in the early evening but couldn't find any emergency dentists. By this point the pain was getting unbearable to the point where i actually lost consciousness.

My ex took me to hospital where they managed to find a dentist. By the time i woke up again, all was well (and as i live in the UK, there was no payment to worry about - god bless the NHS).

I fell off a mountain once, but this was nowhere near as painful as my toothache.

[sonofhal]

Sonofhal, do you have a favorite childhood memory? If so, what is it and why?

My Dad once dated a woman who worked at the Cadbury's factory. She used to bring me lots of chocolate. I wanted her to be my new mummy.

How did you stumble across the first pornography in you life? Don't need to tell us if it inspred any activity, just how it entered your life? How old were you? Impressions?

[JClemy]

The questions are as good as the answers.

If you had a choice to live anywhere in the world other than where you live right now where do you think it would be?

[fiyahhh!]

Sonofhal,
If you could only listen to music from one continuous five-year span, where in the timeline of music history would it be?

[JustSteve]

that's a good one. and tough.

[sonofhal]

I was around 11/12ish and babysitting along with a friend at his uncles house. He told me he was aware of where his uncles porn video stash was. I remember it quite vividly. The video tape involved a woman getting quite intimate with a shower head whilst a muzak version of "Pop Goes The Weasel" played in the background.

I'm a big fan of Barcelona, but learning Spanish would be a pain in the ass. Just knowing how to order a beer would probably not be enough.

Nice choice! You've also got early NIN and Curve in there (I seem to recall you hating Curve though or hating them live).
