Interview with Monte Pittman and Tommy Joe Ratliff - Part 2
Juneau & Xena's Salon (onthemeaningofadamlambert.wordpress.com) interviews guitarist Monte PIttman and bass player Tommy Joe Ratliff in Hyannis, MA, August 19, 2010. For the back story and links, please visit their website.
Love Monte, but he seemed bored and not thrilled to be there. Sweet Tommy seemed shy and a little self-concious. Kind of an awkward interview, don't know why, as Xena and Juneau actually asked them questions about themselves, which I thought would be appealing to them. Maybe just an off day for Monte. He just seemed to want to be somewhere else. Not trying to be critical of these two great guys, just my take on it. funbunn40
Monte and Tommy are two wonderful, down to earth people. It was great to see Tommy laugh and enjoy the interview. Both of them were trying to have fun !!! Thank you !!! LOVE to Tommy and Monte.
I said it before I'll say it again. Tommy looked hammered. And why not These guys are working their arses off almost every night. When not working, they are traveling in a bus. This gal was not the best interviewer as she let too much air time pass. Come to think of it, Monte might have looked a little buzzed also. I am using the words maybe in both cases so I don't have to call my attorney.
Well, Tommy and Monte weren't really expecting to be interviewed...and apparently didn't really know who these ladies were...so were quite kind and obliging to even talk to them, given the circumstances that they were originally just hanging out in a bar, having a drink or two...so be kind LOL!!! They didn't know these (somewhat famous in the world of Adam blog-dom) ladies from (sorry) Adam and were their usual polite and generous selves to do this...So that would explain the "lack of preparation" etc....Just consider it a little moment in the lives of two nice guys who happen to be good friends of Adam and great performers in their own right....giving up the little bit of their private time for us....If you haven't had a chance to read the backstory re this spur of the moment interview, click on the "website" link above...and if you aren't familiar with Juneau and Xena, read some of their blog entries about Adam...They are very good and "expressive" writers who like to write about Adam and do it VERY well...and wrote the book "On the Meaning of Adam Lambert"...Well worth your time....Have followed them for quite awhile..
This interview is so boring but if they are focusing on the meaning of Adam Lambert, why was it all about Monte& Madonna. She asked no questions so Monte went on and on rather than have an awkward silence. Tommy just sat there being ignored and bored.
Thanks Glitzylady for the background info on the above interview.It puts an entirely different slant on it and explains the awkwardness of it. [IMHO] I had thought it had been pre-arranged and didn't know it was an impromtu meeting in a bar. It was nice of them to give Juneau and Xena their private, off time to answer their questions. They are as I've previously stated, really nice guys. funbunn40

<3 Tommy and Monte.
ReplyDeleteAs bad as the first interview. Disapointing. Hope the bus didn't leave without them.
ReplyDeleteAnother boring interview. Maybe they should stick to writing or prepare for the interview.
ReplyDeleteWhat's wrong? This is what band interviews are like.
ReplyDeleteLoved it. Monte has a wonderfully dry sense of humor. Thanks for posting.
