Ian Svenonius encounter

[John Junk 2.0]

I have a few jerk stories *cough David Lowery cough* but maybe they're unfair.  You don't know what's going through people's heads and lives when particular things go down, such as jerkily not signing my poster at a signing table at a record shop because I dared ask if he would draw a little happy face.  Maybe he thought I meant, smiley face or nothing.  

But then, the amazing quality of Cracker certainly entitles anyone to be a jerk, or to seem like one.  No, wait.

You've never heard the alternate lyrics to "Teen Angst"?

What the world needs now
Is a smiley face on a poster
Like I need a hole in my head!
 


No hippy-dippy b.s. for Lowery & Co.

To be totally fair, I think I asked him to draw "like a little picture, a smiley face or something."  That was probably too much to ask.  But then CVB were so awesome that it was hard to hate.

C'mon David... what is this, Get In The Van? Is the scene bringin' ya down? Draw a smiley face.

HA!  Actually, I could see him coming back with a Scharplingesque "What??  Wha-wha-wha-what is this, UH-uh-P-P-Picture Pages?  This isn't picture pages!  Get Off My Autograph Line!"

If I were famous, I, too, would refuse to draw a smiley face.  But I probably wouldn't withhold my autograph as well.
