–<\/div>\n
Seemingly always on the move, Greg Chalson is not the easiest man to track down. \u00c2\u00a0But we have our ways of making him talk and talk he did.<\/strong><\/div>\n
–<\/strong><\/div>\n

Q : \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0Tell me the best three movies or albums of the last year?<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong>
\nA: Oh, okay… \u00c2\u00a0I’d have to think a while back. \u00c2\u00a0I pass.
\n Q: Tell us a story about when your dad was in the Merchant Marines.<\/strong><\/p>\n

A: He was second mate on a ship and apparently the officers and the crewmen had separate laundry rooms. \u00c2\u00a0One of the crewmen thought it would be funny if they played a prank on the officers and he shit, he took a shit in one of the dryers in the officers’ laundry room.<\/p>\n

They had a German captain who was very strict, very severe, and he gathered all the crewmen in the laundry room and said “I vant to know who put the shit in the dryer”. \u00c2\u00a0No one spoke up. \u00c2\u00a0“AGAIN. \u00c2\u00a0I vant to know who put the shit in the dryer.” \u00c2\u00a0And no one said anything, and the captain said “Fine. \u00c2\u00a0We have ways of making you talk.”<\/p>\n

So with all the crewmen standing there in this little room he just turned on the dryer with the shit in it, and the shit started to heat up until the stench was overwhelming and \u00c2\u00a0the crew was vomiting left and right and someone finally stepped forward and confessed. \u00c2\u00a0His punishment was he had to clean the dryer and that was the end of it.<\/p>\n

Q: \u00c2\u00a0 How do you get the ideas for your rap verses?<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong>
\nA: I believe one has to rap about what one knows so the answer is I get them from you guys, you know, friends and families.
\n <\/strong><\/p>\n

Q: \u00c2\u00a0 What is something you would not do, even if Nick Cave asked you to?<\/strong><\/p>\n

A: Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm….<\/p>\n

Yeah that’s a good one…<\/p>\n

I guess, I wouldn’t do… I wouldn’t do what Nick Cave asked me to do.<\/p>\n

Q: \tEven if he said…<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong>
\nA: I wouldn’t do.. what he asked me to do, even if he asked me to do that.
\n <\/strong><\/p>\n

Q: \u00c2\u00a0What is a question you always wanted to ask Emily McWilliams?<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong>
\nA: Who is Conan O’ Brien, and why is she so sad?
\n <\/strong><\/p>\n

Q: \u00c2\u00a0What’s next for Greg Chalson?<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong>
\nA: What’s next? \u00c2\u00a0Um, I don’t know. \u00c2\u00a0I’m thinking I have to be a little more\u00c2\u00a0entrepreneurial. \u00c2\u00a0I want to start a Greg brand of something. \u00c2\u00a0Clothing or colognes. \u00c2\u00a0Eau de Greg. \u00c2\u00a0How many people have you interviewed?
\n <\/strong><\/p>\n

Q: Just you. \u00c2\u00a0Just one. \u00c2\u00a0You’re the first one. \u00c2\u00a0Have you thought of any movies or albums?<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong>
\nA: No. \u00c2\u00a0I need… if I had a list. \u00c2\u00a0I honestly can’t. \u00c2\u00a0I really don’t.<\/p>\n

That’s\u00c2\u00a0embarrassing.<\/p>\n

Q: What’s a question that if I had asked you it, you would have refused to answer it, on the grounds of you don’t want anyone to know?<\/strong><\/p>\n

A: Anything that happened between January and August of last year. \u00c2\u00a0I was in a really bad place. \u00c2\u00a0Anything about the breakup or after the fact. \u00c2\u00a0No comment.<\/p>\n
