I'll go locate the interview now, and post it here, if you're still here...

Hello, Eva!
It got so busy here suddenly that even I was having a dickens of a time sorting through all the hubbub... I'll post the interview now, I had it ready and was going to wait until you were still here. I have a few more minutes before I have to go downtown to meet up and do some poetry reading & a bit of song-and-dance, but we can get started now... the interview is 13 years old, so there's plenty of gaps to fill in with whatever questions you want to ask me...

Eva, this was posted on May 5th 1997,almost 5 years before I'd even discovered Usenet. I never even knew it was here. The guy that first posted snipped it down from the original, I'll add that *now*:

Psychedelic Whirlwind an interview with Dockery by Frank Saunders
Will Dockery is one of the most interesting people I know. It's a pleasure to call him my friend. He b\nearly defies description. The closest I've come to an accurate description of Will is this poem I wrote for him at Al's apartment. Here's to you, Dock.
Pschedelic Whirlwind
Prowling about like a psychedlic cheetah Roving Reporter of seamless nights. F.S.
FS: Where and when were you born? WD: La Grange GA, 1958. FS: Who's been your biggest influence in writing poetry? WD: Alec Lawson. (laughing) At this moment he's a big influence on me. FS: (laughing) Really? WD: I don't know if this is going to work now. FS: Maybe not. WD: Let's try outside. *We leave Al's apartment and invite everyone down to the courtyard behind the Loft.* WD: I think the Southern South of the Sixties influenced me the most. I don't think that Paul Westerberg show is sold out. FS: You think I could get tickets? Margie: I might have to work. Alec: Blow it off. FS: Sounds good to me. WD: I gotta get a bead on this interview. Westerberg is a big influence. Let's step back here (pointing to the courtyard). Here is where I get most of my thoughts. FS: Okay, where were we? WD: You were asking me about my influences and I was gonna say Kerouac and The Beats but they weren't around then. so I'd have to say Popeye and Hank Williams. FS: (big laughs and astonishment) What? WD: Yeah, the '60s Popeye and Hank Williams. FS: Well yes I loved the '60s Popeye, and Hank Williams is the greatest songwriter ever. WD: They were a big influence. And who was the guy that played Hank Williams? George Hamilton? George Hamilton playing Hank Williams impersonating Popeye. But I consider myself a Southern poet. FS: What started your writing? D: I would read Poe in Jr. High. I also used to draw a lot of comic strips when I worked at Cartersville Spinning Mill in Jordan City. Then I broke my wrist and George Bush got elected and the mill seemed to shut down simultaneously. *We have an intellectual but irrelevant discussion about our politics. It adds to the Gestalt of the Will Dockery experience.* WD: The great songwriters of the 80's Patti Smith, Paul Westerberg and now Pavement influence me a lot. Paul Westerberg has a great line [In Can't Hardly Wait] "Jesus rides beside me and never buys any smokes." FS: Yeah, I love that line. WD: ...He rhymes words that other people haven't before. I can't think of any now. FS: It's rare that you hear rhymes no one has used before. WD: I attempted some Burroughs cut up work. I haven't done any lately. My scissors are kind of dull. FS: Some of your lines seem disconnected like that but they work. WD: Well one time a man was reading over at the Street Preacher's box Mark Coile gave us and it was really garbled. I could only make out a few words here and there - mostly unprintable here in Playgrounds... Hey look, somebody's socks. It's performance art of some kind, I'm sure. FS: A pair of dirty socks and a red solo cup. WD: You were talking about the drive between here and LaGrange. I remember making that drive when I was young and hearing "Riders on the Storm" on AM radio. The line "His brain is screaming like a toad." FS: Yeah, "Take a long holiday. Let your children play." D: Yeah I used to get a lot of thoughts drivin' a delivery truck after the mill shut down. You get really close to God behind the wheel of an automobile. FS: I know I can't help but feel it then. Especially long drives. Speaking of which we are going to Paul Westerberg this weekend. D: Yes that's kind of tragic though. I have an extra ticket because the person that I bought it for is... well she won't be going. FS: Well is there something you would like to say to her maybe in a veiled refernce perhaps? WD: You should have that in the interview where you ask me that. FS: Okay. WD: Okay, I know what to say. I've still got the ticket though the show's over. If you want the ticket - it's better than nothing.

I posted the interview, Eva, if you'd like to add any questions to update it.

"Hecklers?"
People telling you that your alleged performances suck eggs and that you can't do what you think you can do isn't a "heckler," Duckery, and even if you thought that it was true it still would not be as hecklers are generally meant for those on stage and this sure as hell ain't your stage.
>I will post the interview with me here, if you're still there, and if you >have anything to add, this will be the place.
It's called e-mail, you schnutz. Use it, or find someone who can show you how without the possibility of you thinking it means something else entirely or snipping and cutting a response.
> I have to leave to go downtown soon to perform some poetry & music, but > should be back sometime after midnight, and then I can answer your > questions.
Get a room, you douchebags.

Interviewer: Hi. Duckery: Heh. Thanks for the comment.

"A dickens of a time sorting through all the hubbub??"
Seriously, what the fuck are you trying to do here, be someone out of an Oscar Wilde play? Goddamn geez.
I'll post the interview now, I had it
> ready
Big surprise.
>and was going to wait until you were still here.
It's called e-mail and chat. Use it instead of spamming Usenet with your narcisstic drivel. Just because Eva is a moron doesn't mean you can use her for your own advantages.
>I have a few more minutes before I have to go downtown to meet up and do >some poetry reading & a bit of song-and-dance, but we can get started >now... the interview is 13 years old, so there's plenty of gaps to fill in >with whatever questions you want to ask me...
I've got a few questions.
1) How'd you get to be so stupid? 2) Why are you such a narcisstic ass? 3) How is it you can't tell the difference between music and mumblings? 4) How many beers have you had tonight? 5) Would you be willing to hurt yourself if I paid you five dollars? 6) FOAD

That was a Lorne Greene quote from Bonanza, actually.
