Just like Nas.. Wondering if Alex Haley got blazed before he tells stories..
Pictures and text by Yoshi, copyright 2007.
Aspirine: You appeared outta nowhere.
Yoshi: No shit.
A: That shit is dope. I think ima start writing books, I have too much to say.
Y: Wow. Tell me about it.
A: Well.. You know you'll buy it. All my books will only have pictures of me. I even thought of a name for the first book.
Y: Yes?
A: Me - chapter 1
Y: Great! Stunning! Awesome! Extraordinary! Splendid! Marvellous!..
A: [interrupts] The book will be utterly sexilicious..
Y: Because of the thousands of your pictures?
A: Of course. But i will try limit the number of pics..
Y: NO! Why?!
A: ..so people concentrate on reading.
Y: But will there be enough free space for text? 500 pages of your pics + text.. That's a lot!
A: Of course. But as I said, the amount of pics will be limited. Maybe 100 pics.. [pause, Black Russian's sip] Nah, we'll make it 40. I can sell 2 books with 100 pics.
Y: Don't you think it's too less?
A: No.
Y: But you can't forget about your 13-yrs-old female groupies.. I mean.. worshippers. They will be upset when they see only 40 pics.. Because I'm not sure if they understand your brief ideas..
A: I will serve every one of them that I can.
Y: With all the controversial daily news, Michael Jackson's case and Maybe's suspicious behaviour, aren't you afraid of being accused of pedophilia?
A: No. In fact, I can write a book about it and give pedophiles the same rights as gay people. Love is love and it doesn't have an age.
Y: But let me remind you.. You are commonly known for your "no homo" opinion. Wasn't it you who said gay people shouldn't be given any rights?
A: Oh, I know. But that's my counter-action.
Y: Controversial you are.
A: If they will put gay people in cages, I will seize the pedophile radical revolution. [pause] Not that I know anything about it. [laughter]
Y: Sure.. But let's get back to business.. Do you think they will call you the next Dostoyevski?
A: Hmm.. Nah. Dostoyevski is cool. Let him be better.
Y: What about a male J.K. Rowling?
A: That's not a russian name.
Y: Rovlingskoya?
A: Fuck him/her.
With that sharp respond, I feel our interview finished. Black Russian's out already, my glass stands filled with water on the wooden table. Aspirine seats on his comfortable chair, which remembers good old times of USSR, staring at the sunset. I guickly get my belongings together and quietly move to the gate. Aspirine's seeing me off. I thank him for the interview. "You're welcome. Did I mention all Harry Potter books have to be burnt?".
