Heavy Hometown, welcome to Louisville. Corey, Eric and Jon weigh in on navigation, prosthetic wings and which rocker rhymes with Indianapolis.
LEO: Be honest. How many times have you asked for directions?
Corey: Asking for directions is a sign of weakness. I never do it, because I’m strong and know where everything is.
Jon: As a band, we take all direction from Corey. He’s like a horse on vitamins.
LEO: How much do prosthetic wings cost?
Corey: Oh, I imagine a good pair will set you back at least $1.20.
Eric: Yeah, the “angel” kind with swan feathers. The pixie-raver style is much more affordable, I think.
LEO: A word that rhymes with Indianapolis.
Heavy Hometown: Lenny Kravitz-less.
LEO: Did you, at one point, consider playing music for money?
Corey: Not really. We all get super-paid at our day jobs. We’re all dentists.
Eric: I’m not a dentist.
Jon: We’re a part of the stimulus package now, so … we’re good.
LEO: How many times have you been asked what high school you attended?
Eric: Last fool that asked me that question got …
Corey: Eric!
Jon: Let’s just say … he didn’t ask again!
Heavy Hometown: Ha ha ha ha ha!
