It’s absolutely fine to be nuts
The band has broken the lull in public appearances by speaking to Brazil’s 89FM A Radio Rock. Enjoy some out of the left field questions and equally quirky answers.
Hint: due to less than stellar sound quality from the band’s side, you might want to turn closed captions on. Speech recognition got surprisingly good in recent years.
Thanks to Blabbermouth for the heads-up.
Unauthorized copying, while sometimes necessary, is never as good as the real thing
(retracting dropped jaw …) I think I would have given HER any answer SHE had wanted me to … Don’t remember much of the interview, but the overall experience was nice.
While the remnants of my hormones settle (don’t read any further, Steve, it’s another one of those self-important anecdotes of mine), I am reminded of a business stay in Rio de Janeiro some thirty years ago. We had an arbitration there and had enlisted the help of a a very well-reputed, large and successful Brazilian law firm as local counsel. We were a quite a bit early, so we waited first in the lavish lobby and then in a likewise spectacular meeting room for our appointment with Luiz, one of the senior partners. And while we sat there, I swear one drop-dead-gorgeous Brazilian beauty after another in the guise of a secretary or legal assistant paraded by us or asked us whether we would like to have anything (we couldn’t give an honest answer to that …). The case faded from our minds as we drooled through a daydream …
Then we got to meet Luiz and me (told you not to continue reading, Steve!) always being the courageous kind could not help but ask him where all these beautiful women came from? And without batting an eyelid, Luiz nonchalantly said:
“Oh, they’re all handpicked, but they generally don’t stay for very long with us. After two or three years they marry one of our young attorney associates, start a family and buy a house. That is good for everyone involved: The girls do their climb up the social ladder, our young attorneys don’t waste time on weekends and meet nice girls who see them working hard from day one. That manages expectations and they will become content, always understanding (for the workload of their husband) wives. Content wives make for happy marriages and happy marriages are stable marriages which in turn are good for the firm.”
We were flabbergasted at so much deep Brazilian philosophical insight being offered to us. You learn something on every assignment. 😎

I would definitely also bring my goat to a concert with Purple 😆
May 10th, 2025 at 08:48In the more rural regions of Jylland, where close human proximity to livestock is a way of life, that would certainly mean straight from the bedroom then into the concert crowd, no?
The poor, anguished animals. 🙄

I was just commenting on Ian’s words about people bringing goats to the concerts!
I don’t own a goat, to make it perfectly clear 😂😂
May 10th, 2025 at 14:00Admins, where did my Brazilian law firm experience go?
This thread shouldn’t be all about goats. ☝️😎
May 10th, 2025 at 15:22My Dog always wanted to go to a DP concert. His favorite DP song is “BoneBringer”! His all time favorite song is Rainbow’s “Long Live Sausage Rolls”! 🙂
May 10th, 2025 at 15:33“I don’t own a goat, to make it perfectly clear …”
That puzzles me, don’t you need one for your pagan rituals? 🐐😈
May 10th, 2025 at 17:27Leslie, shouldn’t your canine friend call “Throw My Bones” his favorite DP number?
May 10th, 2025 at 21:22@7
Well dear, that why I don’t have it anymore 😎
Can I eventually borrow one of yours?
May 10th, 2025 at 22:07Luckily, before things with goats get totally out of hand, we can always rely on Detective Glenn Hughes (chorus) and his two fearless, badge-carrying colleagues Tom & Dan from the LAPD (rapped verses) to restore at least a semblance of law and order!

May 10th, 2025 at 23:13#8 Good one Uwe 🙂 I’ll have to ask him when he wakes up from one his 16 hour naps.
May 11th, 2025 at 11:4416 hour naps? Sounds like my type of dog! The world keeps turning even while you sleep, no point in getting all riled up about it. 😂
May 11th, 2025 at 21:21@1 Gorgeous, no question, but I’ve seen better. Also regarding this Brazilian philosophy of workplace romance, there’s one major flaw in it. Those young attorney associates marry their assistants, and then after a while, they discover that family life gets stale, the former beauty queen turns into a missus and there’s desire for something else. And then he notices another beautiful assistant parading around the office, some 10 years younger than the missus and brand new. A spark flies and…
Also speaking of business environment encounters that make one lose speech. Mine was with a team of foreign librarians, mind you, who I had to do the translation for. Librarians have a reputation for being mousy, but that wasn’t the case. There was a lady among them, quite attractive per se, but when she started talking, I lost my voice. She spoke with a baritone, so melodic, so silky, and so deep, it was amazing. If IG were a lady, he would have been speaking in this way. Where that voice was coming from, I dare not imagine. It took me a while to overcome my awe and resume carrying out my duty.
