clint boon experieince
You Know Clint Boon. You Really Do. Once upon a time he was the chief organ grinder, songwriter and spokesperson for those loveable Mancs, Inspiral Carpets. Clint hung up his bowlhead 3 years ago, but the real fun is just  beginning. And Mr Boon should know - after 3 corking singles on Rabid Badger Recordings and  The Compact Guide To Pop Music And Space Travel Part One album on Artful Records, he is ready to climb back up to the summit of the pop mountain.

Why are you doing this?
I'm doing this interview because I believe in promoting and advertising my music. I'm doing music because it's the medium with which my mortal soul can best explain it's feelings and experiences. As far back as I can remember, the only thing I ever wanted to be was a pop star! I'm very lucky in that respect. Most people don't get to see their dreams come true. I love being  a musician and would do it for no financial gain. In fact, most of the time I do!
What is the best dream you ever had?
The most vivid dream I ever had was one in which I was stumbling down a steep grassy hillside. As I accelerated I started to glide, taking off and soaring above the valley floor and then off into the sky. It is still the most realistic dream I can remember. The 'best' ones though, always include sex! For a long long time I always dreamed about planecrashes, this topic cropped up a couple of times (in songs I wrote) when I was working with the Inspirals. I think it was basically because I had a strong fear of flying.
What question do you hate to be asked and what's the answer?
"Why don't you reform The Inspirals?" "Because it would be a backward step for me personally even though I appreciate there are a lot of fans out there who would relish the opportunity to see us again."
Describe your most rock n roll experience.
Even though it happened way before I met and married Maegan, it would be disrespectful to her and our marraige to give details. All I can say is (just like all the best R&R experiences) it involved the following elements; alcohol, hotel room, young girls and a mild degree of vomiting. Thankfully, drugs didn't play a large part in any of my R&R experiences!
Who is the coolest person in the band and why?
Stubbsy, he's a world class pop star albeit in the early stages. I don't think even he realises his own massive potential yet. Don't tell him though 'cos I don't want to lose him.
What's the last record you regret buying?
I don't buy many, I get most free, the ones I do buy are very well considered beforehand. I recently bought a compilation of songs by David Essex, the first 7 on it are absolute classics, the other 20+ are a selection of dross and severe career mistakes. However, I don't actually regret buying it. I still love him.
How would you like to die?
With my boots on, with the house tidy, with my kids nearby, without too much shouting, no bodilly fluids escaping, nice tune playin', smilin', rich, well liked, just after sex, slightly drunk.
What is the best thing you've ever seen (non-musical...)?
The Saturn 5 space rocket at the Johnson Space Centre in Houston Texas. It affected me so much I wrote a classic pop song about it.
