Interview with Ben (Official Roots site)

Q: What was the last CD you bought Ben Kenney?

A: (pause) I know exactly what it was, Jeff Buckley and Gary Willis Songs to No One

Q: Have you ever been in a fist fight?

A: Yes

Q: Can you Explain the circumstances, por favor?

A: I got in lots of fights when I was younger. When I was in elementary school I used to get in lots of fights but the most memorable probably was when I was like 16 or 17 and I got in a fight with my older brother Ted who was about 21 or 22. Needless to say it didn't really turn out to good for me. It was definitely the most epic fight I've had.

Q: How so?

A: I can't remember what it was about, we had a hard time getting along those days. I just know it lasted for 4 or 5 hours.

Q: DAMN Soooo, then what was the worst thing you ever did to a sibling that you'd admit to on tape? I am afraid to ask now.

A: Are my parents going to see this?

Q: Only if they go on Okayplayer

A: Shit, well, in that case, I must exclude something 'cause ya know one of my parents friends might go on okayplayer doing some random google search... so I can't tell the ACTUAL worst thing. I mean, I can't really remember anything. Well I remember one thing but the buck stops there. It has to do with fluids in somebody else's bed.

Q: What is the first thing you would do if you had the ability to be invisible?

Q: What's your favorite Cartoon?

A: Right now it's probably South Park.

Q: Who's your favorite Jackson?

A: My favorite Jackson?...Reggie. It's definitely not any in that family that's in entertainment. I don't like none of them.

Q: What's your favorite website-besides okayplayer?

A: As for today it's probably my website, supergrub.com. But if you asked me a couple of months ago I'd have a whole bunch of sites that were 18 and up.

Q: What's your most unusual talent?

A: What are my talents?..... I'm ambidextrous?!

Q: And can't you play a bunch of instruments? How many do you play?

A: Let me count...Reeeally like three. But if I were to count everything I play about 5 or 6.

Q: Who would you rather sleep with Mary J Blige or Vivica Fox?

A: That's tough. That's actually a hard question. I'll say Mary J because I think once you got past her barriers and her weirdness you'd find a really interesting person. Might be a lot of fun.

Q: Name one CD you think everyone should own.

A: A lens cleaner.

A: I dunno, I'd probably do the regular shit that everyone else would do. Nothing real special. Scare people, that kinda bull shit. To tell you the truth I don't think I'd be real into it . I mean I don't wanna steal...being invisible, there are generally only bad things you can do with that.

Ben's reply: I guess there ARE SOME things good you can do when you're invisible!
