Brian Doherty: Influences, uh, I have a wide range of influences...I kinda go through phases and what I listen to a lot lately is a lot of NRBQ and I really like BECK a lot. Chris Beyond: Nipper and I were just talking about BECK the other night. We're gonna get the inside scoop from her. Tell us about BECK. Nipper Seaturtle: BECK? Chris Beyond: Yep. Nipper Seaturtle: Um, I feel guilty cuz, um, when I was in FIEND with his Steve Maramarco, (Currently in THE ABE LINCOLN STORY) I was really mean to him. He used to come with us and open for us on our out of town shows. He was really broke and he never pitched in for gas. I would always go, "Hey you know, why do you always have to bring BECK to all these gigs? He just takes up room in the van and he never brings money." Whenever I tried to talk to him, he looked stunned and never had anything to say. Steve wrote a song called "I'm Not At Your Beckin Call"and said it was about Beck since Beck was like his wife. I used to call Steve Mrs. Beck. We used to say he was Hen-Becked. Now he never talks to him... Chris Beyond: He's a big rock star now. Steve is cool. Gotta plug his band. (plug plug plug) |
