Muse Interview

Muse are on the way to the country and I thought I'd get in a quick
interview.

Joel - So boys welcome back to Australia.

Muse - Cheers.

J - So do you enjoy it here?

M - Yeah, we love playing smaller venues like Acer arena and Rod Laver
Arena. It's very quaint. We can barely fit the whole stage show
there!

J - Barely? Did you leave anything out?

M - There were going to be some lions and elephants marching around in
futuristic space outfits while pyrotechnics go off constantly from
their backs, but apparently your smaller stadiums couldn't quite
fit it all in. Back home we were even thinking of expanding it.
oh well...

J - Indeed. Well I wanted to congratulate you on what might be the
comedy album of the year The Resistance.

M - ...comedy album?

J - Well, yes. I mean, there's no way that's a serious album.
It's clearly a spinal tap inspired joke on a massive scale to see
how gullible the public is.

M - No it isn't. It's our finest hour. Our masterwork. The highest
selling muse album yet.

J - But how can you be serious with that camp production? Film clips
where you play keytars while covered in flouro cabling? Cheesy songs
with lyrics like "It's time the fat cats had a heart attack" and
"love is our resistance"? The new stuff is clearly a piss take on
your earlier work, full of cliches and lame references to space love
and future rebellion.

M - No, we're just pushing it to new limits. Reaching new audiences.
We've made more money than ever before! How can THAT be a joke?

J - But you sound like late Queen meets Pseudo Echo in a gay bar.
In 10 years time, music lovers will remember you for your early
work, not for the pompous, ridiculous, overblown, sappy, camp
stadium popstars you became.

M - Well we sleep on a large pile of money surrounded by many
beautiful ladies. So stuff you. I need a money bath.

J - So do I.
