Thursday Thirteen #44 -- Excerpts from an Interview
Over the past few weeks, we've talked quite a bit about groupies. We started with stereotypes, moved on to the truth, and then spent last week celebrating ShapeShifter and you guys who've become my groupies (or are about to).
This week, to end the unit of study, I thought I'd bring you the notes of famed journalist Kermit Ladd, who continues to try to sit down and control an interview with the members of ShapeShifter. Being a smart sort, Kermit sat down with frontman/rhythm guitarist Mitchell Voss, but before long, the party was crashed, and this is what ensued:

| Thirteen things about Groupies 1. Mitchell: The thing about groupies, what makes them so good, is that they love us. Trevor: It's all about the love. Mitchell: No, no. Really. These women love us. To the point that they'd marry us if they could. Trevor (sniffs): Like I'm getting married? Ever? 2. Mitchell: Hold on a second. You see, when someone loves you, all they want to do is please you. Trevor: And please us they do. (He folds his arms over his chest and nods once. Firmly.) 3. Mitchell: For them, it's all about giving pleasure. All we need to do is sit back and take it. 4. Trevor: You greedy, lying bastard. You get off on showering these girls with attention just as much as I do. Watching them start to drool 'cause you're looking at them and then they hold their breaths, hoping you're about to give 'em that invite they want so bad… (He takes a deep breath through his nose, his eyes closed in satisfaction.) Yeah, that's the best. 5. Mitchell: Here's the thing with groupies. We do make fun of them when they can't hear, but you're not a real band until you've got 'em. We know that. We love them for it. Trevor: We make fun of them when they're not around? (Mitchell cuffs the back of Trevor's head.) 6. Mitchell: They're important people in the world of a band. The smart (he gives Trevor a sidelong glance) guys know this. The groupies who are cool or extra-special, if you know what I mean, those are the girls we'll tell the crew to keep an eye out for. Trevor: Sort of like that Lana chick. The whole crew knows Lana. They watch out for her. Help her past venue security, give her passes without the usual payment, make sure she gets fed. Mitchell: I heard Cookie once slipped food out of the crew's catering for her. Trevor: Wouldn't surprise me. Cookie knows who he works for. Mitchell: The band? Trevor: Me, you dumbfuck. 7. Mitchell: These groupies, the devoted ones, they'll say they work for us. That they're as essential to us as people like Cookie are. Trevor: They're wrong. They're in it for themselves. To get close to us. Cookie's around to be my bass tech. Mitchell: Might want to tell him that. I know he likes your rejects. 8. Trevor: How'd we get on to this? We started off saying that these girls are all about pleasing us. Mitchell: They are. Trevor: But now you're saying they're all about getting close to us. Mitchell: Nope. You said that. Not me. Trevor: Same fucking thing. (Mitchell gives him a confused look) 9. Trevor: Are we done with the groupies yet? I'm bored. Mitchell: Nope. We have four more points to make. Trevor: Why not get Adam and his camera in here and let him do a picture thing? Mitchell: Because this guy's here to talk to us. Talk, Trev. Not look at pictures. Trevor: Pictures are more interesting. I'm done talking. (Trevor wanders off) 10. Mitchell: So I guess we're back to just me, huh? Shit. Maybe Trevor's right and we have said it all. 11. Mitchell: Nope, never taken pictures of the girls I've been with just so I can remember them later. That's probably a good thing. Now that I'm married, I'd have to burn them all. 12. Mitchell: Nope, not going to write some tell-all book and spill it all. What happened back in my single days needs to stay there, and not just because Kerri doesn't want to hear it. 13. Mitchell: Yes, girls do still grab my dick and slip me some tongue and do everything else they can think of to get me to take them over my wife. Not a single one of them's gotten anything but an escort out of the room, though. I don't care how great they are, Kerri's better. I guess that means my groupie days are done. |

Oh that Trevor...he sounds a little arrogant, doesnt he?? Happy TT my friend. Its always nice to see you:)
Ha, I love it! Great TT -- I love what Mitchell said about Kerri -- "I don't care how great they are; Kerri's better." Whatta sweetheart!
And wowie, Lana and I thank you for the link love! Lana is absolutely beside herself with joy to learn that Trevor is behind the yummies! She loves him even more now, and she never dreamed such a thing could be possible... :-D
Happy T13, my friend!

Seems like the group thinks they have reached the Robert Plant or Gene Simmons plateau of greatness...;)
Happy TT.

Liked the ending
Not a single one of them's gotten anything but an escort out of the room, though. I don't care how great they are, Kerri's better. I guess that means my groupie days are done.
Thanks for visiting my TT.

Trevor stands out, because how could he not? But I'm really liking Mitchell more and more. #13 sealed it. ;)
Happy TT

"...grab my dick and slip me some tongue ..."
*Yuck*
See, that's the reason I would never ever wanna be a rock star. And I don't even have dick! LOL
Love Trevor. I often would like to just get up and wander away from boring things as well. :o)

Loved it when Trevor just wandered off because he was done with the interview. I really like the interview-as-TT! That may take off all over the blogosphere. And I also love your TT banner for today.
Susan - all your TT's and MPT's are really great exercises for any writer. Getting inside the character's heads, thinking in first person from their POV. I'm going to steal some of these ideas... haha.
(BTW - I added you to my kindred spirits blogroll)

OMG - it just crack me up when I was reading all this....love it!

Another great groupie-themed TT!
Thanks for visiting mine. Aqua spinning works great for me, although I do it in a slower pace than the others. The water gives extra resistance, but it's better for your knees and ankles.

Hey Susan. Sorry I haven't been posting comments to your blog in a while. I've read a lot this summer since it's been way too hot here to do anything else. My boys are back in school now. I hope I can catch up with all your posts and become one of your groupies again. *smooch*
OMG, is this a record of comments?? Susan there's barely space for me here, LMAO!!! Big hugs!!! Miss ya!
Nope, Red, not yet. I just wish you guys would flock to me the rest of the week, too! It's not only fun here on Thursdays, you know!
Ah, yes Groupies can be quite ruthless in their quest to get close to their object of obsession. Are you sure you want some Susan?! LOL!
Michele sent me this time :)

Wow, you really do have a ton of groupies. And I'm one of them. Oh that Mitchell. But no, I won't go around slipping any of them any tongue :P
I like Trevor -- he's a little ADD.
Happy TT. Check out mine; it's about the Zombie Jebuses -- they are fictional too but without "groupies" currently.

I love that "Kerri's better", that there are no pics; and that there won't be a tell-all book. We've had quite enough of those.

Hi Susan--
well, you gave me a good giggle (which I needed after the week I had)! My son is in a band and he got his little sister a t-shirt that says "Groupie in Training". I only let her wear it as pajamas!!!
Great post!
