Lick My Balls (story inside)
I sent Jesse James some questions once; it went horribly wrong. My plan was to do a series of mini-interviews with different people, not only celebrities, that I would call “5 Questions With…”
Jesse was to be the first. My questions for him were:
1.You began with West Coast Choppers before you went on to even more success with Monster Garage on the Discovery Channel. Now you’ve opened a popular restaurant, Cisco Burger. Having previously done business with Shaquille O’Neal, why did you decide to name the Kobe Beef Burger after Kobe Bryant instead of Shaq?
2.You also built a bike for Keanu Reeves, a costar of your wife Sandra Bullock in several romantic films. Were you ever tempted to inscribe the words “Sandra loves Jesse, Sucker!” somewhere on his bike?
3.You said in Fortune Magazine that you only build bikes for cool people. Would you build a bike for David Hasselhoff?
4.You are a distant relative of Jesse James, the outlaw who made his living robbing banks. Do you feel any sense of irony while standing in line to deliver sacks of money to the bank?
5.Now that you’re a successful television star do you have any plans to follow in the footsteps of other celebrities like John Travolta, William Shatner and Shaquille O’Neal by releasing a music CD?
Jesse’s response, which arrived almost immediately via email through an intermediary, was: “Tell that fag I said ‘Lick my Balls!’”
To this day I have no idea which question offended him, but I’m still waiting for his answers to the other four.
