It was an honor to have Tim Kerr on the show. Tim has had an incredible career which goes all the way back to the Big Boys, a highly influential band from the early 80's. Currently Tim is touring and has a new record with Up Around The Sun. Its a great story... https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/322-tim-kerr-up-around-the-sun-big-boys-poison-13-etc/id1448387957?i=1000662256452 Tim Kerr American Laundromat Records

5 QUESTIONS WITH Juliana Hatfield by Zachary Lipez via CREEM Magazine

1. What's a non-musical thing that's influenced your music?

Dysfunctional family and relationship dynamics.

2. What do you do to turn things around when a show isn't going well?

It's all about my attitude. I can either give up and decide everything is ruined and give in and just go down with the ship, or I can pull myself up and make an effort to forge ahead and try and turn it around and lift it up. Usually there is something I can focus on that can be made into a positive rather than part of the continuing negative stuff going on. Like I can take my frustration (with the audience, with the equipment, with my performance; whatever) and use it as an energy, to sing harder, and this physical action can shake off the negativity and frustration.

3. What song do you want played at your funeral?

I don't know if I even want a funeral. I think I might rather just disappear without anyone noticing.

4. What is the importance of good hair, and whose hair do you wish you had?

I think people think way too much and too hard about their hair. I like hair that is left alone. It shows that those people have more important things to think about and to work on than their hair. There are two kinds of people: people who brush their hair, and people who don't. People in the latter category have the best, coolest hair. Have I made myself clear? Haha.
When I was a teenager I loved Exene Cervenka's hair (in the 80's).
Jeff Lynne, also, had a great head of hair.

5. Under what circumstances do you lie? (You may answer "CREEM questionnaires," BUT if you do, you are required to answer question six, which is way more annoying, so we don't think you're mean/lazy)

I will lie to make things less complicated, in order not to have to explain or defend or justify something to someone. Like if someone asks me why I didn't answer when they called I might say my phone was turned off but maybe I just didn't want to answer. Or if someone invites me to a thing or a concert I might say that ‘Sure I will come’ to the thing, knowing that I will definitely not be coming to the thing. And then they probably won't even notice anyway that I'm not there at the thing.

BONUS! 6. Who do you see as your competition?

Myself. I mean, I'm not really in the game, out there. I am my own worst enemy and it is a constant battle. I always want to make better music--to show myself I can do it, to do better, to express something-- so it never ends.
