I mean, I think that's one of the reasons I've always loved you and everything
you do is like, there's a level of authenticity. And it's like, like earlier we
were talking about style and stuff. And I'm like, I love your style because it's
just, you're effortlessly doing it, whatever you like, you know, or unless
there's a lot of effort. I don't know.
I mean, it took a while to stand there and be like, I don't know if this is
okay.
But I do. I wear that black coat because I know you like black stuff.
I love that.
I wish I could be as brave as you. I think. I did think that's the reddest
lipstick I've ever seen in my life, but it's kind of a nice Christmas color too.
Wait, what do you mean brave?
I think it's just brave to like, to put this on, to be like, uh, like, cause I
remember when I was in junior high school, my friend, Matt Chenevere, he was
like, he was a neat guy and his brother played in a band.
And I don't want to say the band was bad, but the band was probably had a
unique sound.
Okay. Okay. So, and their name was like, uh, you know, like, uh, shuddering,
like it was something crazy, you know, like desperate victim or something, you
know, like definitely like the name of the band was one guy was playing the
drums, but he was, he was just fucking shaking with anger so much.
And he had the sticks in his hand and he was just keeping some type of a vague
wooden, a metal falsetto. And it was just, that's who they were, you know, but
so I would go sometimes and try to be like, and I would listen to like blind
melon and like fucking blind melon is like the one.
Yeah. But they somehow rolled, I guess they weren't goth, but they were kind of
hippie. I don't know if we had goth, maybe we had one dude. Oh yeah. Goth was
different. Sorry. These were just kind of like,
like violent hippies. Okay. All right. So that's kind of the group I was in for
a little while was this violent hippie group. And then, um, but yeah, the goth
kids would wear like those shoes that were like, and then,
but they had to wait till everybody left to walk back. Cause it was like such a
uncomfortable walk sometimes. So like, why are those goth kids still hanging
out by the tree over there? Like
They're always in the trees. It's weird. There's even a website. I think it was
called goths and trees. And for some, there's like a fascination with like goth
people that are like in trees. I didn't, I've never felt the feeling calling,
but I don't know. There's a lot of them. Yeah. That's cool. It's a thing. So go
on.
There it is. Goths and trees right there. Let's look at a few of them all hang
out. Ooh. Yeah. That guy definitely. Oh, that guy is goth dude. Yeah. They all
hang out in trees. I don't understand. Ooh, there's something very Edgar Allen
Poe about it. You know, cause they're cause of a Raven. I think so. Now this
lady seems like it's a thing. I've never done it. Let's see more. This is
fascinating. Wow. That guy is goth. Yeah. Look at that.
They're inside trees. It's weird. I wonder if there's something about it that
feels good to them. To our species. Yeah. I could see it. Now this is really
interesting. She brought props. Oh yeah. She's a Sith.
Or Scythe or. Is it Scythe? She's a Scythe. Oh wow. Yeah. These are goss on a.
In trees. Is it a tree house or. Yeah. It looks like a tree house or a zip line.
Goss on zip line would be good too.
But I love this. This is really fascinating. Yeah. Um, I used to love when
there was some dope Tumblr pages out there. That was fun. Wasn't it? Yeah. But
wait, you were going to get to the point where, so you had the friends that
were in the band and. Yeah. But the, yeah. And I thought I was goth, but I wasn't,
I guess. Yeah. We would just like listen to like skinny puppy or different
bands. Yeah. Like, you know, uh, epilepsy lizard or some kind of shit like that.
And then, um, yeah, that was it. That was about as goth, as kind of as goth as
I get, but I was always marveled at the people that could go full dark wing
duck, you know, like people like that dark wing duck. Yeah. I think the people
that like, could be like, whoa, like this person, like, how did they get to
school? Do they flew here themselves? Like that type of, I think there was
something like interesting about it. Yeah. Yeah. And there was always like,
there's such an allure.
I think about that sort of woman or yeah, I would probably say woman more
because I think it's like, uh, there's something interesting about a goth
person. What is it? What is it? What is it about goth people? Why is it like a,
like the loose screws probably? Or what is it? Like, why do they, what is it
like the, the, the calling towards like, is there like a code of conduct or
something? I mean, there's gotta be, um, some childhood stuff, right? I mean, I
know for me,
I, I, I, like I said, I never felt a sense of belonging even within my own
family unit. Um, so I remember discovering music and then not necessarily
seeing myself, but, um, like there was a reflection of emotions happening. Like
when I, I like, I love the cure and Susie and the Banshee's Depeche Mode. And I
think like lyrically and just like this, um, the soul to it, you know, I feel
like a lot of people are sensitive in that sense, but.
And they just like take it to the, you know, to the outward expression of that.
But I don't know. I, I just, I just like it. I, you know, I, I've always.
Maybe that's it. Maybe like a, of a way to be seen too. Cause I guess it was an
outlier. Like I grew up in a small town. So.
But it's kind of not cause like.
Right. Cause you have your own group then. Like, is that what you mean?
Well, I mean, I don't know. I.
I'm not judging. I'm just looking at it. I'm like, it's just interesting.
It's funny. Like even this morning when I was getting ready, I was like, you
know, I feel like I tend to dress very, I cover all the time.
Like I don't, I very rarely show my tattoos at all. And I was like, you know, I'm
going to change it up. I'm going to go see Theo today.
And I'll just wear short sleeves, you know, but I feel like I would always get
tattooed for myself.
Like I just like to look at images or I like what it looks like with the
appearance of it.
Um, I, in the middle of nowhere in Indiana, like I dress like this every day,
like, and it's like, but it's not for anybody else other than why are you
laughing?
I could just see how many men got, like pulled up and back at home and like,
honey, I seen a damn apparition down there.
That damn, this neighborhood's going to shit.
So I think there's something interesting about, or no, there's some, I look, I
think a lot of men, I remember in our town, a lot of men would go and cry over
by the Winn-Dixie in their truck.
I remember why, I don't know why, but we would go ride our bike over there.
Sometimes it was like a sad place.
Like, I think men would just go sit over there and be sad sometimes.
I remember seeing that, but, um, yeah, I think there was something very alluring
about a goth woman to me.
It seemed like a siren, you know, like in that book for Odysseus, you know what
I'm talking about?
Yeah, yeah.
It seemed, that's what it seemed like.
There was like something like, what's going on?
Yeah.
This is different.
It's different.
You know, I think it's, well, it's brave to be different.
I think so that may be like, well, yeah, was an element of like, this feels
brave to me.
Like, I'm just interested how somebody kind of leans into that or how they, you
know, not that they're joining a group, but it's like, what, how does that kind
of, yeah.
Why does, why does one goth, you know?
Yeah.
I mean, I don't know.
I just like what I like, I think.
And I just do more of that or do a lot of that, I guess.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's interesting.
I've never gotten a, you know, I think there's maybe I might've dated a goth
woman at some point.
I don't remember, but I probably, I think I could have.
I think I did.
She didn't write you a poem?
Huh?
I'm sure she did.
I'm sure.
We do, we get, uh, we do a lot of family portraits together and I like, I love
our little family because we just, we look like a little family, you know?
Like my son, he is not scared about like what I think, I'm not scared, but like
spooky to him is fun because it's what he's around.
You know what I mean?
So his normal is a lot different than like normal kids.
And we get a lot of criticism about that too, because, um, you know, he, cause
he wears black or he'll like, I'm like, that's what he likes.
Like at this point he sees his dad or his mom, you know, it's like, it's, it's
normal to him.
So, so we did like a photo shoot for this, uh, it was actually for like a, an
interview, like for a magazine thing.
And they wanted to shoot us in front of our house.
And so I was like, Oh, there's like this little fountain and I had like my
little, like Tim Burton, like parasol thing.
And, um, and people just hated it.
I think they just hated seeing like, it bothers them that we, we don't look
normal.
I don't understand.
It's really weird.
You should get your son a vulture or something for Christmas.
I bet anyway, sorry, sorry for making so many jokes about your aesthetic and
stuff, but it's cool.
I never, some of them are very accurate though.
Well, I wish I gotten to talk to more people that are like, are goth people.
I think, I think I don't ever do, I don't know if I don't go to enough goth
places.
I think I've always kind of had a affinity for goth women.
Maybe I think, oh, my brother likes goth women too.
I think, or he likes creative ladies, kind of like artsy.
Yeah.
And yeah, I think where I was growing up being artsy was weird.
You know, I think it was like people thought you was gay or something, you know,
or you was
damn gay or whatever if you, you know, did like, I remember if you got good
grades, you
know, people thought you were homosexual, you know?
Really?
Oh yeah, dude.
And so it was like, yeah.
So I think being brave enough probably, and when I was little to have somebody
be like
unique, like you seem, like you are, I think that would have been, so maybe
that's why I
think it's really fascinating.
I mean, I think it's maybe the trauma, like that's like, like, cause I think
about why
does it, why do I think cigarettes are sexy?
Right.
Like, because there's this like sense of like, you don't care that you're
damaging yourself.
Oh yeah.
There's like a, not a danger to it, but just like it's self-destructive a
little bit.
And I think with, maybe it's just like there, I don't know, like some, some of
my favorite
bands and the music I listen to, it's like, there's some stuff that I'm like,
oh, they're,
they're good.
But you could tell they just like, they don't have any trauma.
Like, so it's like, I just don't listen to happy, I don't like happy, I don't,
I'm not
attracted to it.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
Um, so yeah, maybe that's what it's, what it takes.
I know I've had trauma.
I mean, I've seen some crazy things.
Do a lot of people mistake you and Dave Navarro ever or not?
No, but you know what I do hate is like, um, cause I really want to have bangs
and every
time I've ever cut bangs, people call me, say that I look like Cher and I don't
think I
look anything like Cher.
I think it's because we have a deep voice, right?
Oh yeah.
I don't know.
That could be it.
I saw Cher at a game.
She was running around with a young brother at a, at a, at a, at the Superbowl
last year.
Yeah.
Yeah.
She's dating like a 17 year old, I think, or 18.
Sorry.
Yeah.
But, um, yeah.
Um, yeah, but I don't look like Dave Navarro.
Take that back.
Sorry.
You don't look anything like Dave Navarro.
I was just trying to think if like somebody were like really ridiculous that
they would run up
and say that.
Thank you.
