I'm now into the habit of carrying the camera around with me, never know who I might meet. So I'm at South by Southwest in Texas. Huge showcase for bands from all over the world. A megastar in every cafe. On this occasion, it's a signing session with Jason Falkner and Dwight Twilley. Anyone who likes power pop will know Mr. Twilley is the Gaffer of Power Pop. As a member of the band "Jellyfish", and now as a solo artist, Jason Falkner carries on the tradition.
It's well known some of the guys in Jellyfish sort of fell out with each other, and that the relationship between Mr. Falkner and vocalist and drummer Andy Sturmer was / is tense. Jason was very pleasant until I started asking about Jellyfish, would they reform, has he heard from Andy Sturmer, would he be recording with him huh? HuH? HUH? Maybe I pushed it too far, he snapped, hissed "Jellyfish was years ago, would I shut the f*** up about Jellyfish!" End of conversation. Even ex-Jellyfish can sting.
