RODDY BOTTUM INTERVIEW
Chat show host and Faith No More keyboardist was his usual eloquent self when speaking about homophobia in an interview with Westword:
“If someone had a problem with it, I don’t think they would address that to my face. Bigotry is chickenshit, you know? The Klan wore masks because they were ashamed to show their faces. The people who would have a problem with a gay keyboard player wouldn’t do it publicly; they would talk about it behind my back. So that way, I didn’t see a whole lot of resistance. “

A LETTER FROM MIKE PATTON’S MUM
Friend of the site Jim Brown from Faith No More Followers has been digging deep into his exhaustive Faith No More magazine archive for some great articles recently – and right at the bottom of this one is a possibly apocryphal letter to Rolling Stone from Mike Patton’s mother from September 1990.
She said: “FNM is a group of hard-voicing, talented and creative musicians who are responsible and intelligent young men with keen senses of humour.”
Thanks for all the great updates admin!!! Good interviews! Looks like the band has kind of settled into the previous setlists as they head to S America. It seems pretty clear that the people a the Troubador show are clearly the luckiest FNM-lovin’ bastards this year (except for someone like me who is a monster Chuck fan and got to meet him in Detroit). Speaking of surprise shows, how come the Amoeba Records website hasn’t put up their recording of the FNM show yet? I’d like to see their version instead of spliced up cell phone videos. And when does that Berlin show air when they played all of SI?
