~Interview with Trevor Hurst~

This was taped of off CJAY in Calgary. I missed the first little bit talking about TDYK, and I didn't catch the Interviewer's name.

INTERVEIWER: Ready for some point blank questions?

TREVOR HURST: I'm ready!

INT: Everything you wanted to know about Trevor Hurst. What's in your pockets right now?

TH: Right now? hmmmm...Blistex...and some change.

INT: That's it?

TH: Yup.

INT: Blistex and some change. Where'd you get the gum from? You must of scored that off of someone on the way in.

TH: I scored it off of...Paul Johnson my rep.

INT: What kind of car do you drive?

TH: (embarrassed) I don't. I have a van...

INT: You got a van? What kind of van?

TH: It's a big...luxury...It's gross! It's...it's a van...(Interviewer laughs) It has a bed in the back, if someone's looking for a date...

INT: What's something Trevor Hurst never leaves home without?

TH: woooo...

INT: Besides your Blistex, I guess.

TH: Besides my Blistex. Hmm...my ring!

INT: You got your ring? What's the story on the ring?

TH: It's a...it's a big huge gaudy ring that says "Think 4 Yourself" on it. It always reminds me to keep my head screwed on straight.

INT: Where'd it come from?

TH: Uh, it was a gift, really, From my best friend. Gave it to me for my birthday.

INT: Wow.

TH: She had good taste.

INT: And she was able to... did she get it made or something? or was it--

TH: Yeah, she got it made.

INT: Right from scratch...First concert you ever saw?

TH: First concert I ever saw...(deep radio announcer voice) HARLEQUIN!

INT: ALRIGHT!!! (laughs)

TH: I think! I think that was it! yeah...

INT: And any memories from it at all, or...

TH: I just remember that we had to have the t-shirt. And you know, the t-shirts were awesome because they had the black sleeves and the white--

INT: The white fronts, yeah.

TH: Harlequin...ahh, we all looked cool.

INT: (laughs) Still got the shirt?

TH: No, I wish I did though, 'cause I'd wear it now!

INT: First album you bought?

TH: First album I bought...I think the first album I bought...

INT: Now, this could be, this could be like a single, this could be a 45, could be an 8track, could be a single cassette, or...

TH: Yeah, anything...but I think it was Boy, U2.

INT: Yeah?

TH: I think it was the first one I heard, you know, you'd pick stuff up but I think the first time I parted with hard earned money I think it was Boy, U2...or hard stolen money...

INT: Yeah, hard stolen money! Weirdest thing that ever happened to you onstage. Or offstage, for that matter.

TH: Onstage. Halloween in Thunder Bay. I was on mushrooms, and a girl threw a live cat into my arms. (laughs) I reacted poorly. The cat did live though...

INT: Okay, phew!

TH: It was close.

INT: Unfulfilled goals. Something Trevor Hurst is gonna do before he dies. Parachute, rockclimb, fly a plane...

TH: Hmm. I really would like to kiss Julia Roberts right on the lips!

INT: Yeah? That's it, eh? Okay! That's a good goal to shoot for! Have you met her? Ever got close?

TH: No, not yet, but damnit, I'm gonna try!

INT: (laughs) Have you met any superstars? Met anybody that you kind of saw on the screen or even musically and thought "Wow, man, I'd like to meet that guy! Oh, there he is!"

TH: Yeah, we were just talkin' about it. I met Jane March in, uh, Los Angeles. She was the girl in "The Lover", I don't know if you're familiar with that movie, but she's a very hot young starlet from Europe. That was fun.

INT: That's as far as it went?

TH: That's as far as it went.

INT: That's as far as it went when the microphones are turned on. (Trevor laughs) Again, look for the album The Devil You Know from Econoline Crush. Thanks for comin' in, Trevor!

TH: No problem!

INT: And we'll be back to more of on the verge after this...
