If you like southern-fried rock, chances are you'd appreciate this big messy ball of Southern-fried Rock n Roll- that is Terry Anderson and the Olympic Ass-Kicking Team. They are "a stewpot of Chuck Berry, Rolling Stones, NRBQ, The Louvin Brothers , early 70's era Faces but that's not say it's all recycled. It's your own muse informed by the right sources and no one does Terry Anderson quite like Terry Anderson." Tom Barnes recently had the opportunity to interview Jack Cornell, the bands bassist.

TB: 1.Who is Jack Cornell? What was your first gig- the first time you got up in front of bunch of folks and did your thang?

JC: Ahhhh, that first gig. Me and the mirror and the Beatles... oh wait, in front of people. Well, I played Pinocchio in a musical at school. That's all it took...starved for attention ever since.

TB: 2.How do you approach songwriting , what/who inspires you- and how do you go about writing tunes? I asked T this, and I'll ask you: define for us what a well-constructed song is.

JC: A friend once said 'Please don't bore us, get to the chorus.' That may be a little glib, but the construction of a song isn't always what grabs me. It is more how it impacts me and probably how it evolves over the performance. I am inspired by passion.

TB: 3. Favorite musical gear?

JC: The volume knob.

TB: 4.Your favorite songs to do live?

JC: The moment the band is locked in is my favorite song.

TB: 5.What do you say to the dreamers who are out there jamming in the garage?

JC: Listen to each other.

TB: 6. Tell us about the site, any upcoming gigs, and about what the future holds....

JC: All of that is evolving, we plan on trying to keep it interesting and entertaining for us and the fans. Stop by and see...

Great meeting you all. Hope you cats show back up in the Bluegrass soon. --Tom Barnes (aka: Sgt__Vox)
