"Now that Johns is 17, he's even beginning to show signs of, ulp, boring
maturity."

1. (Q) Have you ever considered writing a book called "I was a Teenage Rock
Star?"
   (A) No.  I might write a book later on, but it won't be called that.

2. (Q) How does it feel to make more money that your parents?
   (A) It's one of the better sides to being in a band.  It's good to be able to
afford a car.

3. (Q) Have you ever heard of the Flamin' Groovies?
   (A) No.  But I haven't heard of a lot of bands people talk about.

4. (Q) You're young, good-looking, and rich.  What are you so bummed about?
   (A) We've always liked really dark, aggressive music.  When I write lyrics, I
just like to focus on the
       negative side of what's happened to us. We're not interested in happy pop
music; we just wanna write
       about negative issues.

5. (Q) Have you ever stomped a frog?
   (A) No, I haven't done that.  We got the title off the back of a '60s pop
compiliation record.  I forget
       the name of the guy, but he did this instrumental called "Frogstomp."  We
just thought it was  really
       dumb, so we figured it was a good album name.

6. (Q) Is there life after high school?
   (A) I think that's when life begins.  As soon as we finish, we're just gonna
focus on music.

7. (Q) Now that you're a star, is there any point in going to college?
   (A) I've never been interested in going to college.  I always said once I
finish school I'll concentrate
       on doing what I wanna do, and what I wanna do you don't have to go to
college for.

8. (Q) Have yu ever thought about getting a Mohawk?
   (A) I thought it would be cool to have a Mohawk, but I'm not gonna get one.

9. (Q) Is Paul Hogan's (Crocodile Dundee) career over?
   (A) I dunno.  He's a legend.  Every time we go to America and people find out
we're from Australia, they
       go, "Crocodile dundee, man."  His career's never gonna be over for
us--we're always gonna hear about 
       him.

10. (Q) Will you leave home when you turn 18?
    (A) I'll probably wait until I'm 19.  I want to enjoy one more year of
getting my washing done for me."
