If it wasn't for my dad, I would never have known about pentathlon, because it's not popular at all in Australia.

Now, I'm the only living member of that group. There was the six of us originally and they're now all gone.

I know Italians and I like them. A lot of my father's best friends were Italians.

I feel like a member of any group comprised of outsiders.

I was just a kid in 1987 when I heard of the Pixies, the year after I graduated high school. But I had my band together, and my best friend at the time, Corey Hickock, who was the guitar player in the band that would become STP, Mighty Joe Young, turned me on to the Pixies.

I had friends in this band called Mars and they used to play a lot.

The groups, though, were my inspiration way back then. I liked Frankie Lyman and the Teenagers.

All Montreal bands have around nine members, I believe.

Not too many people know what a pentathlon is or what's involved, which is why visiting schools is good because they can learn about it at a young age and hopefully try it out.
