Q: Pictures have been posted of you mostly naked, wearing a rather large elephant shaped g-string. Comment?
A: Ahhh yes! The infamous elephant ding sling. It was part of an end of tour gag with the opening band Cinder Road. We put it in front of their kick hole on the kick drum. Every time he'd hit it, Dumbo wanted to fly. As we were ready to go back out for the encore I took it and put my trunks on. Ah good times, good times.
