What’s something Bon Iver has in common with Bon Jovi?

Uh, the only thing that I can thing of is that he’s a Caucasian. My publicist wanted to get me to interview him for Interview magazine ‘cause she thought that would be funny. We’re totally next to each other in the CD stores.

Did you get slaphappy during your time away? Were you talking to yourself? You definitely talk to yourself.

Everybody’s spent two or three days by themselves in their apartment and by the third day you wake up and you’re half-naked, wearing one sock and you’re singing the theme song to some Sara Lee commercial to yourself. I was definitely going through that a lot. You sort of get used to it and then you just sort of hang out and then there’s this long, flat line or being really conscious of your day.

Sounds cold, sitting around half-naked. Laughs It was cold, but that was the other thing. You always had to be outside cutting some wood or you always had to be bringing wood inside and you’d always have to wake up at 4:30 to re-start the fire so you can go back ... more.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
