Jace Everett, the writer & performer of True Blood’s intro, might have become famous because of “Bad Things” but he’d rather stay home and read Kierkegaard than go to a wild party (especially a frat party). He has a new album called Red Revelations which came out in March. The Celebrity Cafe posted an interview with Jace this morning. Here’s an excerpt:
TCC: The intro to True Blood — pretty intense! The imagery and your music make for a powerful ride. Are you a fan of the show?
JE: I am a fan. I thought the intro was awesome: it was ridiculous and sexy and fun. I liked it.
TCC: Since I saw in your Twitter bio that you’re annoyed at being “the True Blood guy,” I promise that’ll be my only question about the show.
JE: (laughing) Nah, I don’t mind at all being that. I was just being a prick.
TCC: Are you enjoying your growing celebrity status?
JE: Uh, sometimes. Don’t get me wrong, the fans are wonderful. Now, every once in a while you get one that’s a pain in the ass, but that’s how it is in anything you do. Overall, I’m extremely grateful.
TCC: I read that you’re trying to incorporate intelligence, power, energy, spirituality, sex, all into your music?
JE: I grew up profoundly, profoundly religious…Evangelical, in the diamond buckle of the Bible belt in Texas. I guess I’ve always been attracted to things older than me (although as I get older, those things are becoming fewer).
You know, I don’t like bullshit, I don’t like wild parties. To me, I’d rather stay home and read Kierkegaard than go to a frat party. That’s more fun.
Read the rest here.
Sounds like a cool guy! I’d rather sit around and read Kierkegaard myself.
Come pay day, that album’s mahn.
Cool dude! “I was just being a prick” – LOL LOL we’ve all been there, baby!
Saw him this morning on Good Day NY, I got a case of ginge love!
