Who are you?
Will Brown aka The Reverend of Boogie – Drummer for two of the finest rock & roll bands in town, Romeo Spike and The F’n Heartbreaks, but mainly just a true bon vivant.
Describe yourself in three words.
Wendy’s. Chocolate. Frosty.
Who — dead or alive — would you most like to meet?
Buddy Rich, so he could give me drum lessons.
Who would you most like to slap in the face?
People who don’t tip at full-service restaurants. Fortunately I’m no longer doing that for work, but I have a ton of stories to tell. To those of you who do wait tables, major props for having more patience than me.
What song do you wish you had written?
“I’d Have You Anytime” by George Harrison
Elvis Costello or Elvis Presley?
I dig Costello, but I can’t deny Presley’s influence. Presley knew you couldn’t ROCK without the ROLL, and that all starts with making the ladies shake hip.
LP, CD or MP3?
8-track tape.
If you could start one trend, what would it be?
Erik Estrada sunglasses.
If you could end one trend, what would it be?
Sadomasochism.
With whom would you most like to play a game of spin the bottle?
Stacey from The Bridges. She’s a fox, and I have a bit of a crush. Spin the bottle of course comes after the following: dinner at Alfredo’s, then chocolate fondue at home, capped off by a few glasses of wine. Stacey, call me.
