Mike Watt in GQ?

Message Bookmarked
Bookmark Removed
Okay, so I've recently taken to reading American men's magazines (Esquire, GQ, etc.) I'm not quite sure why, but nevertheless, I have. Looking through the June issue of GQ this morning, I noticed a letter from Mike Watt. Like, the real Mike Watt, praising the magazine for a particular article and relating a story about competing for the affections of some girl with Johnny Depp and then noticing at the urinal that he has a bigger penis than Johnny Depp.

Anyway, Mike Watt reading GQ???

Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Friday, 30 May 2003 11:21 (twenty-two years ago)

At least he didn't start talking about the lower half of his digestive tract again.

I do not think anybody has every accused Mike Watt of being able to read before.

Former husband of Kira and current Patrick Duffy second tier celebrity look-a-like.

OH MY GOD WHY IS HE NOT PLAYING BASS THERE, WHAT IS THE WORLD COMING TO!?!

nickalicious (nickalicious), Friday, 30 May 2003 16:09 (twenty-two years ago)

...and I still think he's one of the top three coolest human beings alive. That letter proves it.

Mike Watt is one of the readingest motherfuckers in the world.

Colin Meeder (Mert), Friday, 30 May 2003 18:43 (twenty-two years ago)

Who got the girl?

Johnny fucking Depp.

Is it just me or has Mike Watt slimmed down?

Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Monday, 2 June 2003 22:56 (twenty-two years ago)

He has slimmed down a lot. Nearly dying will do that to a guy.

Colin Meeder (Mert), Monday, 2 June 2003 23:09 (twenty-two years ago)

I figured it had something to do with his surgery.

I liked dos too, until it got re-branded ms-dos. I'll never forgive 6.0.

Man Kira was/is so hot. And awesome.

Watt's not bad either.

Master of Treacle, Friday, 5 August 2011 02:39 (fourteen years ago)

Not a patch on that Dale Nixon fella though.

Master of Treacle, Friday, 5 August 2011 02:40 (fourteen years ago)

What could be romantic to Mike Watt?

Sorry. That's probably the dumbest joke I keep pulling.

yes, seriously, thanks for the heads up! there was a release date originally announced for like march or something like that, and i kept looking for it after that and then gave up, so it's good to know it's finally out.

some dude, Friday, 5 August 2011 03:09 (fourteen years ago)

woah this thread is on ILE? weird. anyway it makes me so happy that after a serious drought of Mike Watt records he's released three in the past year.

some dude, Friday, 5 August 2011 03:18 (fourteen years ago)

yeah he had a big health bump and had to rest & also he was pulling duty with the Stooges but now he's back on the horse! dude is like one of the all-time role models imo, he puts in work all year and is real with people and makes great music.

pathos of the unwarranted encore (underrated aerosmith bootlegs I have owned), Friday, 5 August 2011 05:28 (fourteen years ago)

Kinda weird that the last two times I saw Watt was when he played with Jandek and then the big Plastic Ono Band show with Gaga/Nels Cline/RZA/etc.

Unbelievably psyched to see the Stooges next month.
