Reporter

Reporter: “How does this song initially make you feel?”
Me: “It makes me feel blue”.
Reporter: “Can you tell me more about this?”
Me: “Sure, you know at first you see people dressed in all blue. It made me feel blue also. A fun blue. Then the music picked up, became louder, clearer. The music is fun too.

Reporter: “Describe your first thoughts.”
Me: “it was another Christmas song and they are all dressed in blue. It turned out to be an instrumental.”
Reporter: “How did this song make you feel?”
Me: “like it was more of a instrumental than song.”

Reporter: “Tell me how it really made you feel.”
Me: “OK”
Long pause.
“Oh, I have to listen to it again” I said.
Reporter: “May we continue?”
Me singing: “Shoobop woop woop shoobop”

“OK” I told the reporter and we continued.
Reporter: “You were going to speak about how this music affects you.”
Me: “Oh yes, well it’s very fast beat or high tempo I don’t know the lingo. To be completely honest. It make me feel like I’m going to have a panic attack. It’s a great instrumental, just a little fast for me.
Reporter: “I’m sorry to hear that a song has given you feelings of anxiety.” Scratches head “there’s a lot of that anxiety around everywhere you go.

Anxiety or everywhere I go, maybe it’s the note pad and pen I come up to them with.” The reporter laughs.
Me: “May I ask you something?”
Reporter: “sure, you can ask me anything’”
Me: “Do fish fart?”
Reporter “I don’t know.”
Me: “Do you like asking questions?
Reporter: “Yes, I like sticking to a topic also.”

Me: “Oh OK” tongue hanging out, finger to my lip. I was really thinking here. This reporter stuff is not easy. I then took a deep breath and started over.
Me: “what was the most visually striking image you saw?”
Reporter: “There you go, that’s a good question. Now I have to go watch the video again. This is my third time. A short while later and the reporter is back. “when Lindsey is dancing in front of the trees.” He told me.
Me: “You have a hard job.”

Reporter: “Thanks I think.”
Me: “I mean it, you have to think up new ways all the time to keep a conversation going forward. That is not easy Sir.”
Reporter: “Editing is not fun for me but I get caught up in grammar all the time.”
Me: “So somewhere off topic we went again, why don’t you handle the questions now?”
Reporter: “Very well then. Would you recommend this song to a friend?”
Me: “Not bloody likely.”

Reporter: “Oh? Do you not like the song?”
Me: “It’s not that, it’s just … there’s so many Christmas songs out there, with a lot more people singing than there are actual songs.
Reporter: “Does that bother you?”

Me: “No, I just don’t usually send out Christmas songs to my friends. They already have them playing and I don’t ask who is singing the songs.”
Reporter: “Well thank you for your time.”
Me: “Groovy.”
