MightyMightyBosstones: Greetings and welcome

to the wonderful Internet, soon to go the way of the 8 track

recorder. It’s Dickie and Nate from The Mighty

Mighty Bosstones.

Spaz_666: Do you guys consider yourselves a

SKA band?

MightyMightyBosstones: Uhh no. Uhh we have a

great love and respect for SKA music, but I wouldn’t

consider ourselves a SKA band.

Vedderfreak12: Why is the dancer part of the

group? He's cool...but I don't understand him.

MightyMightyBosstones: He was such a good

friend of ours when we started the band, but he didn’t have

any marketable talents, not that I did either. We never even

thought that anyone would even bother to ask why.

Justincollege: Why did you pick the bulldog

as your mascot?

MightyMightyBosstones: I don’t know.

Bulldogs have always been a soccer hooligan thing from England.

We had a friend who made up a cool T-shirt. Its one of those

thinks that just kind of stuck.

BillupsFan: Dickie, a new album soon ?

MightyMightyBosstones: Of course, some time

soon. We are going to get in their this fall and start banging

out some ideas.

Balou_6: OK. Yall have girlfriends?

MightyMightyBosstones: It depends on who is

asking.

Four_Colours_Red: Have you toured in the UK?

MightyMightyBosstones: Yeah we have. We are

going to England in 2 weeks. It will be our 4th or 5th time over

there.

BillupsFan: Dickie, you're from Boston, ever

been to Al Capones ?

MightyMightyBosstones: Uhhhh- I don’t

think so. Its possible that I just don't remember.

Thumper1980: What do you think of all the

fans and craziness of the business?

MightyMightyBosstones: If it weren’t for

the fans, we wouldn’t be doing this in the first place. The

business doesn’t really matter. F**** the biz.

WikiwikiNicky: Is hard to think of your

songs?

MightyMightyBosstones: No I got 7 other guys

in the band with me who do my thinking.

Fadman13: How long have the MIGHTY

Balou_6: Coming to Houston, Texas any time

soon?

MightyMightyBosstones: I would love to, but

we don’t have any plans yet. Its been awhile since we have

been to TX. I wish that the Warp Tour would go

to TX.

he the 9^th member?

MightyMightyBosstones: For TV he seems to be.

doesn't Nate sing more? He can really bust it!

MightyMightyBosstones: I would rather play

guitar. (Nate)

MY92: Boston's my home town, what part are

have everything in the world right now. (Dickie)

influence growing up?

MightyMightyBosstones: The Clash.

BillupsFan: Where did the idea from

"Impression That I Get" come from ?

MightyMightyBosstones: I don’t know. I

don’t really like to talk about my lyrics very much. Its

about a lot of things. Personal tragedy and about our generation.

Tavis737: Can we take pictures at your show?

Don't want to annoy anyone.

MightyMightyBosstones: We don’t mind

people taking pictures. Nate is taking over now I am off to see

the Aquabats.

book a Perfect Storm, Angela's Ashes,

Blak_Fly: Hey take don’t offense, but

how do you respond to people saying that you sold out? I

personally don’t agree because you think you deserve your

success because you have been working forever. I just wanna know

what you think.

MightyMightyBosstones: We have been doing the

same thing for years. Anyone who knows us knows that we are on

the same path. Its kind of flattering that they say that but they

are full of shit.

Mog27: Do you like video games?

MightyMightyBosstones: No.

HempGuyguest_268d843: I noticed that racism

is a big part of Lets Face It. What do you guys

do against racism, besides in your music?

MightyMightyBosstones: We bring the Anti

Racist Action group on tour with us. They hand out

information saying what Neo Nazi's are looking like these days,

so they give out literature and information. They sign up kids

kind of like a network, a clan watch getting kids aware. We do

benefit shows for them.

SonicNetHost: What are Neo Nazi's looking

like these days? You never know where they are hiding.

MightyMightyBosstones: It varies from

different parts of the country. A lot of kids have different

types of symbols these days.

damn is the other one I would do.

Silverstone while on Clueless?

great event.

cable.

Meatmen and DYS . That’s a sick show.

Fadman13: How do you make time to enjoy

yourselves?

MightyMightyBosstones: Hahahahaha I

don’t know. We are on the road a lot. Last year we toured 11

months. This year it’ll be 7 months. Writing songs is one of

my favorite things.

Ska_punk01: Are any of you straight edge?

MightyMightyBosstones: No.

Venturess: What is your favorite part about

what you do? The writing? Traveling? Performing?

MightyMightyBosstones: Writing and recording

are my favorite. Touring can be fun. But its not as exciting when

you are on the road for 11 months Vs a studio that you are in

every 18 months.

Horror Picture Show?

not.

what they have.

honeyguest_40a01383: How do you know a

concert has been successful?

band really start to pay off?

new band?

MightyMightyBosstones: Elliot Smith and

Elliot Smith I am really, really digging Elliot Smith and Hepcat.

Dickywho: What really pisses you guys off?

MightyMightyBosstones: I guess the whole Neo

Nazi thing is annoying that is #1 on the list. We are pretty

peaceful zen type characters staying in a constant zone of love.

SonicNetHost: Do you guys have a big problem

with Neo Nazis at the show. Do a lot of them come out to see you

guys.

MightyMightyBosstones: Not as much as they

used to. England skins used to listen to SKA. For the most part

they are few and far between these days. Lord have mercy upon

their souls.

Grapeape13: Were you always cool and popular

in school?

MightyMightyBosstones: I went to high school

should be out there.

Madhattie: Are you irritated at the

second-rate Bosstones knockoffs, or flattered?

MightyMightyBosstones: I am more flattered

than irritated.

Plopguest_4a02307: What do you think of the

US Government? Any chance of you guys running for political

office?

MightyMightyBosstones: Dickie will run for
