Wow, he's working the standard-issue "I'm officially a middle-aged gay man" baseball cap and leather jacket look.

I prefer the Aluminum Group.

I'm pretty sure he is very bald now, that's why he always wears a hat.

His speaking voice seems so gravelly now. It must be all those cigarettes. I wonder how many years he has left. I also wonder if the whole incredibly gloomy thing is for real or just a joke. The day that SM dies, I will weep.

I'm only halfway through, and this is already one of the greatest interviews of all time. OF ALL TIME!

Interviewer: I'm sure they're [the kids] gonna love the music as well...
Merritt: ...they better...
Interviewer: ...They better...[in low voice, apparently impersonating Merrit]...or else!
Merritt: ...exactly.
Interviewer: [still in patronizing low voice} Something dark could happen to them.
Merritt: Something dark will happen to them anyway.
Interviewer: hahahahahaha..alright..

I like this cd! The books, not so much, though I think they're very well packaged.

Interviewer: [still in patronizing low voice} Something dark could happen to them.
Merritt: Something dark will happen to them anyway.

or, as he put it in his greatest song:

you won't be happy with me
but give me one more chance
you won't be happy anyway
