Marty: Do you feel that playing rock and roll music keeps you a child, that is keeps you in a state of arrested development? Derek: No.. no... no. I feel it's like... it's more like I'm going to a national park or something and there's, you know,they preserve the moose and that's... that's my childhood up there on stage, is that moose, you know... Marty: So when you're playing, you feel like a preserved moose on stage. Derek: Yeah. David: I've been listening to the classics. I belong to a, uh, a great series. Um it's called the Namesake series of cassettes, and they send you the works of famous authors done by actors with the same last name. So I've got Denham Elliot reading T.S. Elliot on this one... Marty: It's interesting. David: Yes. I've got Danny Thomas doing "A Child's Christmas in Wales" by Dylon Thomas, and next month it's McLean Stevenson reads Robert Louis Stevenson. "Treasure Island" I believe. Marty: That's uh...that's interesting. It's fascinating David: There's also something, uh, there's a shorter works of Washington Irving read by someone called Dr. J. Marty: That's Julius Irving. David: Oh, there you go. Marty: Julius Irving, the basketball player. David: It's keeping...keeping with the series. Yeah, I did know that, yeah. Nigel: You like this? Marty: It's very nice. It looks like Halloween. Nigel: This is exact, my exact inner structure done in a t-shirt, exactly medically acccurate. See? Marty: So in other words, if we were to take all your flesh and blood and every... Nigel: Take them off... Marty: ...you'd see exactly... Nigel: This is what you'd see. Marty: It wouldn't be green though. Nigel: It is green. You know, see...see how your blood looks blue? Marty: Yeah, well that's just the vein... I mean the color of the vein... I mean the blood is actually red. Nigel: Oh, maybe it's not green then. I don't know. Anyways, this is what we sleep in sometimes. Marty: Dennis Eaton-Hogg, the uh, president of Polymer records... Ian: Yes. Marty: ...was recently knighted. What were the circumstances surrounding his knighthood? Ian: The specific reason why he was knighted was, uh, for the founding of Hoggwood, which is, um, a summer camp for pale young boys. Marty: David St. Hubbins, I never... I must admit I've never heard anybody with that name. David: It's an unusual name. Well he was an unusual saint. He's not a very well known saint. Marty: Oh, there actually is...uh there was a Saint Hubbins? David: Yes, that's right, yes. Marty: What was he the saint of? David: He was the patron saint of quality footwear. Marty: You play to predominantly, uh apredominantly a white audience. Do you feel your music is racist in any way? David: No...no...no. Of course not. You know... we say... we say, "Love your brother." We don't say it really... Nigel: We don't literally say it... David: No we don't say it... Nigel: We don't really literally mean it. We're not racists... David: ...but that message should be clear. Nigel: We're anything but racist. Derek: You know we've grown musically. I mean you listen to some of the rubbish we did early on, it was stupid. Marty: Yeah. Derek: You know, now, I mean a song like "Sex Farm", we're taking a sophisticated view of the idea of sex, you know, and music... Marty: Putting it on a farm. Derek: Yeah. Marty: If I were to ask you what your philosophy of life or your creed, what would that be? Viv: Have a good time, all the time. That's my philosophy Marty. David: I believe virtually everything I read, and I think that is what makes me more of a selective human than someone who doesn't believe anything. Marty: Do you have a philosophy or creed that you live by? Mick: Well, my... personally I like to think about sex, drugs, and rock 'n roll. You know, that's my life. Marty: If you were to have something written as your epithat... David: Here lies David St. Hubbins...and why not. Marty: You feel that sums up... David: No, it's the first thing I could think of. Marty: I see. David: It doesn't really sum up anything. Nigel: I'm a real fish nut. I really like fish. Marty: What kind of fish? Nigel: Well in the United States, you have, uh, cod. I like cod. And I love tuna. Those little cans you got here, tuna fish... Marty: Yeah... Nigel: No bones!!! Marty: Yeah... Marty: If you could not play rock and roll, what you do? David: Be a full time dreamer. Viv: Probably get a bit stupid and start, uh make a fool of myself in public 'cause there wouldn't be a stage to go on. Derek: Probably work with children. Mick: As long as there is, you know, sex and drugs, I could do without rock and roll. Nigel: Well I suppose I could,uh, work in a shop of some kind or, or do, uh, freelance... uh...selling of some sort of product. Marty: A salesman... Nigel: A salesman, like maybe in a haberdasher or maybe like a...um... a chapeau shop or something. You know like, "Would you...what size do you wear sir?" And you answer me. Marty: Uh, seven and a quarter. Nigel: "I think we have that." See something like that I could do... Marty: Yeah. Do you think you'd be happy doing something... Nigel: "No we're all out. Do you wear black?" See that sort of thing I think I could probably master up. Marty: Yeah. Do you think you'd be happy doing that? Nigel: Well I don't know, what are the hours?
