You’re credited for really revitalizing the lounge-singer format, but today it seems more popular than ever. Does that make you feel like you need to find a new frontier in your work?
No, it doesn't make me feel like I need to do that, but if something occurred to me and I liked it, I would pursue it. Lately I’m thinking about a dance-band kind of a thing. I have this friend, Jonathan Toubin [of New York Night Train], he’s a disc jockey. Sometimes he’ll have guest disc jockeys at his dances. I’ll go to Brooklyn Bowl and play records with him, and I love the way that everyone is dancing. There’s a certain type of music that he plays that are B-sides of '60s boogaloo records or whatever they are, and I was thinking, It would be great to play this music live and have people dancing, because most of the time when you play you just stand there and have people look at you. People used to dance at the Dolls shows. Dancing is so good for you, spiritually, physically, and mentally.

No room there for Did You Have To Love Me Like You Did by The Coconuts? Great groove and lyrics - about the pitfalls of following through on bi-curiosity?

I first became aware of him circa '79 when he would lipsync his latest single on New Jersey's beloved UHF kiddie semi-parody The Uncle Floyd Show, on which he would grin and say "It's maaaahvelous to be here, Uncle Floyd" in his Staten Island croak.
