Can you handle the truth?<\/strong> In honor of the Roger Clemens-Brian McNamee<\/strong> showdown on Capitol Hill, today’s burning questions require not only your gut answers but your honest answers. There’s no need to swear, though – nor is there a need to work blue! Just tell it like it is<\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\n

Have you ever trashed<\/strong> an album – literally – that you didn’t like rather than traded it in or offered it to a friend?<\/p>\n

What supporting musician<\/strong> – past or present – who’s never gone solo or started his or her own band, to date, do you feel is best equipped<\/strong> to make such a move?<\/p>\n

What’s the last band or album you pretended to like<\/strong> – at least just a little – to a) keep peace in a social or business situation among non-rock nerds, b) impress a potential romantic partner, or c) stay in character for an acting role?<\/p>\n

What cover version of a Bob Dylan<\/strong> song do you like much better<\/em> than the Dylan original – and considering you might have more than one answer, if you had to choose one<\/strong> beloved cover version of a Bob Dylan song, which one would you choose above all others? Honestly.<\/p>\n

Pere Ubu fans:<\/strong> Which of that band’s many distinctive members over the years do you most miss? Which one<\/em> now-departed band members, I should clarify. Be both selective and honest!<\/p>\n

What’s the most memorable<\/strong> song you ever dropped a quarter in the jukebox<\/strong> to play? NOTE:<\/em> What made this experience memorable could be the song itself, the time and place, the ass you kicked in the parking lot shortly thereafter, etc.<\/p>\n

That Nico<\/strong> album you once took the plunge and paid import prices for – honestly – when’s the last time you spun it?<\/p>\n

What band leader<\/strong> – past or present – who’s never gone solo to date do you feel is least equipped<\/strong> for leaving his or her band and striking out on his or her own?<\/p>\n

I look forward to your responses.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
