A Conversation with Jules Shear (continued)
PM: Are you what you'd call a spiritual person?
JS: Oh, jeez… [long pause]
PM: It sometimes seems a weird question for a musical interview, but I always enjoy asking it.
JS: A spiritual person. A spiritual person. If you're asking me to compare myself to other people, I don't really know what other people are like.
PM: I don't think I am, not necessarily. Do you feel like a spiritual person--is that a better phrasing of the question?
JS: Do I feel like a spiritual person? Well, I don't know. I don't really think about it too much, but I suppose--well, jeez, I guess any time you believe in God you've got to be considered a spiritual person. I guess so. And that would make me a spiritual person. But I don't really know what that means exactly. I'm sorry.
PM: Well, it almost takes an artist to think that long and hard about it, and say, "Well, hang on, now."
[laughter]
JS: Really? Bless you.
PM: Well, I get very interesting responses. And I only wish that the interview on a printed page would convey exactly--
JS: --what happened there. Yeah, I must have looked confused. I'm confused.
[laughter]
PM: The expression, "the length of the pause," the "mmm." But we'll do our best to convey that. continueprint (pdf) listen to clips puremusic home
