MSM: Hi "The Ref". What brings you too Victoria? "The Ref": Well, charlie, I once played in a band back in Montreal where i either got an English Degree, or a music Degree. I will tell different people different things. Depending on what day it is. Somtimes I say i have a music degree and run a business, other times I say i have an english degree, other times i just may say i have a minor in music. SOmetimes i say i went to mcgill other times i say i went to college. What was the question again? MSM: um, geesh, what brings you too victoria? "The Ref": Well , Charles, or Charlie, you dont mind if i call you Charlie do you ? MSM: No not all "The Ref": What can i do for you charlie? MSM: What brings you too Victoria? "The Ref": Well , Charlie, you see. I had no where else to go. I have no job, no money, no band. I tell everyone I have a recording studio, but hey, absloutely no music to back it up, only a version of a styx tune i recorded in a local bar one night with the Soulmen. I tend to span my ideas on Live Victoria, and act as if everyone knows me, and i have opened up to them, and dont hide, but you know what. NO ONE knows me, or has ever heard me play! I am silly like that. MSM: You say you went to University, and have a degree. Why then are you unemployed? "The Ref": Wel, when you dont actually have a dgree or an education in anything, you can say you do all you want, doesnt give you a diploma. MSM: Oh i see, so you consider yourself a musician and frequent live vic often. When is your next gig? "The Ref": Gig? Is that when you actually play in a band and play somewhere, or even do some solo work. Not my cup of tea. But I am constantly trying to put a band together. Cover tunes only of course. I haver been trying to put a band together now for 20 years. Thats dedication. MSM: So have you ever played in Victoria? "The Ref": Yes, i tell people i was in a band a little while back. I fronted Everyones Ex, and The soulmen, and the majestics. I fronted them, meaning i was the boss. But now, i just sit at home and tell people i have an office, and a franchise or something, silly me, the lies the lies. MSM: Thank you so much for this very interesting opportunity. Well we be expected The Ref to be playing somewhere in victoria soon??? "The Ref": Can you give me a 1$, or be my friend - Sat, 23 Aug 2003 5:26pm | ||

MSM: No not all "Shawn/Anonymous/Bag of Glue/Wanker/The Ref": What can i do for you charlie? MSM: What brings you too Victoria? "Shawn/Anonymous/Bag of Glue/Wanker/The Ref": Well , Charlie, you see. I had no where else to go. I have no job, no money, no band. I tell everyone I have a gig in a thearter, but hey, absloutely no proof to back it up, only a version of a version of my kazoo rendition of mary had a little lamb that i recorded in a local bar one night while I was being sick after my last hit of heroin. I tend to slag any and all ideas on Live Victoria, and can�t let anyone know me, and like to hide, but you know what. NO ONE CARES! I am silly. MSM: You say you went to University, and have a degree. Why then are you unemployed? "Shawn/Anonymous/Bag of Glue/Wanker/The Ref": Well, when you dont actually have a degree or an education in anything, you can say you do all you want, doesnt give you a diploma. It�s just like being �a real lawyer�!!! MSM: Oh i see, so you consider yourself a musician and frequent live vic often. When is your next gig? "Shawn/Anonymous/Bag of Glue/Wanker/The Ref": Gig? Is that when you actually play in a band and play somewhere, or even do some solo work. When I�m not stoned on crack I practice my kazooing like crazy! And beg for change between welly days! Thats dedication. MSM: So have you ever played in Victoria? "Shawn/Anonymous/Bag of Glue/Wanker/The Ref": Yes, i tell people i was in a band a little while back. I fronted urinstink, and job whats that?, and the losers. I fronted them, meaning i was the boss. But now, i just sit at the library and go onto live vic hiding like a troll cause I�m scared! I also like to email people that call me coward and call them names and make threats of violence to them, tell them that I work with the police department (hehe) so they don�t try and find me cause I like to stalk people. And when people email me back and aren�t afraid of my threats and now actually know who I am, I have to run and hide again for a while. Boy, I hope that none of them post the tantrum like, veiled threats filled emails that I sent to them. That would be embarrassing eh Charlie???? Hehehe??? MSM: Sure would be coward, oh! I mean Shaun/Anonymous/Bag of Glue/Wanker/The Ref MSM: Thank you so much for this very interesting opportunity. We'll we be expected Shawn/Anonymous/Bag of Glue/Wanker/The Ref to be playing somewhere in victoria soon??? "Shawn/Anonymous/Bag of Glue/Wanker/The Ref": Can you give me a 1$ for some crack or booze, it�s a few days to welly day! - - Sat, 23 Aug 2003 6:12pm | ||

| The Ref User Info... | This interview, although satirical, does capture my personality very adeptly. Yes, I am a "fraud" and I do not "play music" and am not in "a band" and do not really "have a business". I apologize to all. - Mon, 25 Aug 2003 1:31am | ||
