The relationship of the toastmaster to speaker should be the same as that of the fan to the fan dancer. It should call attention to the subject without making any particular effort to cover it.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The only reason I wanted 'Making Toast' as the title is that it is a simple gesture of moving on. Every morning there's the bread and you make the toast and you start the day.
Toasting is basically what you call rapping. It came off of playing the beats at the parties, however it be. You find a space in the beat, and you have somebody live just basically saying rhymes over the beat.
There's no specific mission statement for the 'Toast.'
I'm a very private person, so I didn't like this idea of tweeting about me. And then I realized, 'Oh, this is actually a brilliant device in terms of interacting with the fans.'
They don't need a lawyer, they need a toastmaster.
My fans are pretty normal, they are always really nice and polite, and they don't interrupt my meals.
There should be an element of mystique between the fans and the artist. That bit between the stage and the audience. I think that's necessary.
Wedding: the point at which a man stops toasting a woman and begins roasting her.
What good are fans? You can't eat applause for breakfast. You can't sleep with it.
I don't like to think of my readership as 'fans,' a word which has always suggested a kind of power relationship I'm uncomfortable with.
