Flagpole • Ap r ? 27, 1988 Page 6 The Superstar talks to a Supergroup Superstar JT, Atlanta's best-known rock critic with hair, interviewed Chris “The Pole" Robinson of Mr. Crowe's Garden en route to Athens, flying past Loganville's Little Nashville, Eric Dolphy 8- track blaring, finger out the window, pork rinds on the floor board. JT renigged on a speaking engagement at NYU to rap with tne Southeast's most elusive rock genius. JT: So what do think about Bob Dylan playing at Chastain? CR: Well, first you gotta think that BOB is a legend and everything, but who wants to see him play with The Alarm? I think he'll be bummed when he gets there and he'll go look for a black chick. JT: Lately you guys seem to be more influenced by bands like Poison and Guns and Roses. Is this part of the big picture or is it just some chick trip for you personnally? CR: The only chick trip with Poison is trying to do them. But we put our chick trip in our pockets. JT: (yeah, right) CR: Now Guns and Roses have an attitude, kind of like the Replacements if they gave a shit. I mean none of us take our shirts off on stage. JT: (thank god) If you guys could open for anyone who would it be? % CR: Aerosmith, but we would have to cut some of the remaining jangle and make Rich wear makeup. Or better yet, just have Mary My Hope come out and lip sine to our songs. JT: You guys are thinking about signing a major deal.
