                                 2. I wish that all children do not get shitty presents.

                                 3. I wish that old people don't die near/at Christmas. Major Xmas bummer.

                                 4. I wish for a baby owl.

                                 5. i wish for a black Canadian Prime Minister.


CP: How have things changed since your last live set/show in Philly?

SG: Now i'm 29.

CP: What are your favorite albums, books and movies at the moment?

SG: MUSIC = Marvin Gaye What's Going On? More specifically the song "What's Happening Brother?"
      BOOK = A Short History Of Progress by Ronald Wright
      MOVIE = Let The Right One In. Little kid vampires ... YES PLEASE!
