Hahahahahahaha.

That interviewer was trying so hard to keep things peppy.

Wow, he's working the standard-issue "I'm officially a middle-aged gay man" baseball cap and leather jacket look.

I prefer the Aluminum Group.

Quality television.

I'm pretty sure he is very bald now, that's why he always wears a hat.

His speaking voice seems so gravelly now. It must be all those cigarettes. I wonder how many years he has left. I also wonder if the whole incredibly gloomy thing is for real or just a joke. The day that SM dies, I will weep.

I'm only halfway through, and this is already one of the greatest interviews of all time. OF ALL TIME!

Interviewer: I'm sure they're [the kids] gonna love the music as well...
Merritt: ...they better...
Interviewer: ...They better...[in low voice, apparently impersonating Merrit]...or else!
Merritt: ...exactly.
Interviewer: [still in patronizing low voice} Something dark could happen to them.
Merritt: Something dark will happen to them anyway.
Interviewer: hahahahahaha..alright..

I like this cd! The books, not so much, though I think they're very well packaged.

Interviewer: [still in patronizing low voice} Something dark could happen to them.
Merritt: Something dark will happen to them anyway.

or, as he put it in his greatest song:

you won't be happy with me
but give me one more chance
you won't be happy anyway

Zach, somehow quoting Kanye three years before he did the thing where he said the thing!
