I started day two of ACL Fest a bit earlier than day one. I had an interview with Dax Riggs scheduled for 3:30. So I hung out in the media tent for a while, talking to a few of the singers we interviewed. Butch Walker was there with 101X DJ Toby Ryan. We interviewed Butch a few weeks ago so I introduced myself and took a quick photo of him. Nice dude!
A spoke to Toby Ryan for a bit too. I knew he was a big Muse fan and since they were moved to the headliner spot since the White Stripes cancelled their appearance, I asked him if he was going to check them out tonight. He said he was and that they were going to bring the full-on light show. I realized I had my interview to do and told Toby I had to go interview Dax Riggs. He leaned over and told me, "He's a TOUGH interview. He doesn't talk much." And I thought, "shit." I was already nervous as it was but knowing that he wouldn't be talkative kind of freaked me out a bit. I had a big lump in my stomach.
I introduced myself to Dax and asked him if he wanted to sit down. We both sat on a table underneath one of the tents. And the funny thing was, once I asked him the first question, he talked nonstop for twenty minutes! The nicest dude, really. Very passionate and articulate about his music. A great interview to say the least. It should be ready for the next issue.
After my interview with Dax, I was off to find my wife and check out Blue October.
