As for Tenacious D, of course it could work as a full length movie; all it requires is a great writer and great director with an ability to think outside of conventional film comedy.
Besides if people really want to support the troops they would vote democrat.
I also try to think of ways to articulate the joke more economically.
I don't think HBO would want to do anything in conjunction with Sub Pop but I never asked either.
I don't think of my opponents in the sense that I don't think of them consciously, I don't steer it one way or the other.
I hate bumper stickers, you can't sum anything up. All you do is paint yourself in some caricaturist corner.
I just often find myself getting shrill, angry and the jokes get more incredulous.
I just recorded another CD for Sub Pop.
I lived in LA for almost nine years and if I never went back there again it would be fine.
I love doing stuff with Todd Barry and Jon Benjamin. We give the stage to good bands and funny people.
I love Tinkle, it's really the most fun I've had in years.
I read the New York Times, and if I'm in a different city, I'll skim that paper.
I remember being a kid and the Vietnam War was huge and looking at Watergate.
I think people, for the most part, actually want what they think is best.
I thought it would be way more interesting to show the drunk people, the hecklers.
I was reading at a really early age.
I went to a bunch of marches in New York and Washington, and you know I believe in the cause, but to march with those people takes a lot of compromise on my end.
I work a lot and I like to get out and work but the work I do to make the other work work I'm not very good at.
I'd be curious to find out, but I don't think people in the entertainment industry are proportionally more or less serious politically than anyone in the landscaping industry.
I'll think of the idea and then I'll write something down, then within that there will be a joke or two which is the original thing which I thought was funny.
I've got a lot of friends there and there is stuff to do but as much as I dislike LA I really like living and working in New York City.
In New York there isn't that weird palpable competitive thing where it's friendly but everyone isn't trying to top one another with jokes when you're just hanging around.
It's just an easy catchall to describe a style because there are a lot of alternative comics who are completely different from each other.
It's not about trying to be funny all the time. It's more of a document that hopefully is funny.
It's not an issue per say, but I would urge people to help create an atmosphere where they don't see this complete ideological divide.
My biggest problem is retaining the exact information.
Nobody is going to be as bad for free thinking, right-minded individuals than George Bush.
Now I'm used to my daily, almost hourly, outrage at what's happening in this country.
Occasionally I'll watch Fox News for as long as I can tolerate it, or CNN. I'll watch until I get infuriated, but you got to know what they're talking about and what they're not talking about.
Originally they wanted me to be Buster but I really like the Tobias part.
People are condescending, they don't listen, and it's contributed to a really unfortunate anti-intellectualism in this country.
Sketches have characters, exits, entrances and are vastly different.
Some of those heckling parts are just great on their own plus they happened at that moment so we had to include it.
The best thing about me is there are no skeletons.
The most important is too loosen the grasp of corporations and special interests from buying politicians and their votes.
The second piece of news is something that I would imagine most people have heard about by now. Arrested Development got picked up for a third season.
Then I will tape the sets and even though I'm not very successful sometimes I will try to cut out the fat and put the jokes closer together.
There are really funny alternative comics and really funny straight comics who write and perform traditionally.
There is nothing interesting about just seeing me doing the show then seeing the fans and how much people love me.
There were a number of referendums in '98 that most of the things I voted for passed. That's very satisfying when you feel that most of the country is in step with your views.
We should just get somebody from the left and the right and they should all throw bumper stickers at each other and the first one to cover the other one wins.
You can't just yell jokes at people.
You have to have some level of attachment, you can still have passion and believe but it has to be softened somewhat.
