1. Are you playing? Dylan hasn’t played out in about 3 years. I think his last show was at The Walker or the Art Institute.
2. Are you planning to play again? Currently he doesn’t have any plans to play out, although there have been internal rumblings about wanting to do some sort of music again.
3. Is Dylan Hicks your real name? Someone did actually ask him this once, and he answered “No, Johnny Rocket was my real name, but I changed it to Dylan Hicks because it wasn’t rock and roll enough.”
4. Did you make any money as a musician? Dylan likes to describe it as a moderately popular non-profit rock band.
5. Where can I find your albums? There were three CD’s, Won, Poughkeepsie, and Alive with Pleasure. They are currently out of print, but you can usually find them used on Amazon. I keep thinking about posting the files online, but he prefers the idea of solid objects. The same reason we have a really big record library.
6. Why all these questions about music, I thought you were a writer? That too, plus he paints pictures, although they are often mistaken for ones by our kid. Actually Dylan wanted to be a music critic when he was a kid, and was sidelined into performing for awhile.
