Soul Asylum

Radio DJ: "Mother Popcorn" by James [Brown]. Okay, umm, I wanted to ask you now, you just recently just changed your name to Soul Asylum, and up until that point you were known as Loud fast Rules, right?

Dave: Oh, here it comes

DJ: Okay, why? why did you, umm, like, why did you decide to châ€"change the name of the band?

(Silence? then laughter from band.)

DJ: Don'tâ€" don't all speak at once

Dan: We're not an HC band

DJ: Mmm-hmm

Karl: I mean people would say we are, but I don't think we're a H? ya know, hardcore band, a punk rock band, or new wave band

DJ: Hmm? hmm, okay, but what about the name Soul Asylum? I mean, wouldn'tâ€" don't you think that might stereotype you to some people like who hadn't not heard of you before, ya know, like to think that you were a soul or a funk band or something?

(Song fades in.)

Dan: It's possible

Dave: I don't know

Karl: But it's better than having everybody that doesn't know thinkin' you're hardcore

Dave: I asked Paul and he said it wouldn't

Dan: Paul; Paul Stark? A local god. A man who knows about all these things

Dave: He knows everything

DJ: Mmm-hmm. How did you come up with the name Soul Asylum? What is?

(Interview fades out.)

Mecht Mensch: We'd like to thank you all for coming down

To see the best band
