Bush's album, Sixteen Stone, was making a splash with the single "Everything Zen." The boys admitted to sucking off Satan for a record deal and, in the process, meeting Sheryl Crow in hell. Read on....
CHERI CHENG Bush is in the house!!
BUSH Actual Bush here now.
SONIC HOST We don't believe it
SONIC HOST Prove it
LARS Yeah! Prove it!
BUSH Nigel, guitarist and Dave, philospher in house.
SONIC HOST What's your philosophy?
BUSH Nigel says screw you.
LARS Does Bush smell?
BUSH Bush smells bad in the morning.
SONIC HOST Bush, were you trying to get in the OJ trial?
BUSH Yeah, and we did.
CYBERBABE Or in his pants HUH?
LARS Ask the geetar player if he can play more than 3 chords.
BUSH Nigel wants to know if you can spell more than 3 words?
SONIC HOST So, BUSH, how's life with a big hit?
BUSH Delightful.
SONIC HOST Are you happy?
BUSH Too tired to be anything.
CHERI CHENG How have the audiences in America been treating you & were you a different band before??
BUSH The audiences have been treating us like royalty and we were Led Zepplin before.
SONIC HOST Bush, did you make the Grammy's?
BUSH No. We played Tower Records and it sucked.
SONIC HOST What happened?
BUSH We fell asleep on stage.
LARS What guitar does Nigel play?
BUSH I play a 6 string, Strat.
CHERI CHENG I guess everyone wished they were Led Zeppelin -- but being that you haven't had quite the success in the UK -- it must be wierd to play to screaming crowds. Comments?
BUSH Painfully, and it is great playing to screaming crowds.
BUSH Have any of you heard of Alex Chilton?.
SONIC HOST Sure, Alex is my bud.
BUSH Send him Nigel's love then.
SONIC HOST Was Chilton an influence?
BUSH A HUGE influence for Nigel.
SONIC HOST Hey we got Musician Mag in the house and they have no questions?
MUSICIAN MAG What STRINGS do you use?
MUSICIAN MAG No, I didn't mean strings. I meant to ask about picks.
BUSH Tens, two forty twos.
SONIC HOST Uh-oh, stumped em.
BUSH Pricks?
SONIC HOST Yes, what kind of pricks do you use?
BUSH Other peoples.
MUSICIAN MAG Look, what I'd like to know is Bush's assessment of a description of the English passed on to me by Julian Colbeck (limey session player) who says "Twin English obsessions are the cult of the amateur and the cult of the new. The hipper you are to begin with the faster you will become totally unhip." The reverse is equally true, what do you say?
BUSH Maybe, but who's to say, and who the hell is Julian Colberg anyway?
SONIC HOST Was it a challenge to "break" America?
BUSH I didn't think America was broken, but if it is, we'll fix it.
SONIC HOST Well, Bush what's it like to be on the threshold of Rock Godism?
BUSH Divine-like, dude.
MUSICIAN MAG Bush has not been championed by NME and Melody Maker. Is that good or bad?
BUSH Good.

BUSH Excellent.
STEPHEN Have you read V?
BUSH V is a long book.
SONIC HOST Are you a Pynchon fan?

SONIC HOST What other authors do you like?
BUSH We read Richard Brauttigan and Jackie Collins (Dave).
CYBERBABE SO what the hell are you all doing in NY?
BUSH Playing Irving Plaza on March 7.
SONIC HOST What's the story behind "Everything Zen?"
BUSH It a quest for personal happiness.
SONIC HOST Why the binary code on the album cover?
SONIC HOST Is it a Pynchon thing?
BUSH They are the only numbers we know.
BUSH Entropy. Entropy.
LARS Is Bush named after our last president?
SONIC HOST Or the president's wife?
LO-KI Or a flaming biblical bush?
BUSH It was named after your first president.
CYBERBABE Woah, what are you going to call your next album, 'Clinton?'
BUSH As long as we don't have to call it Bob Dole.
