Radio Free EugeneWednesday, August 15 2007 @ 11:40 AM Mustachioed Vermont Ukranian rocker Eugene Hutz will be on NPR's Fresh Air today with Terry Gross. Perhaps Eugene will enlighten Terry about the benefits of "punk rock..." and how there is surely "no future!" for any of us.
I wish it was a call-in show so I could give him shit about not getting back to me about doing a Pants movie interview. At this point I'll likely have to go through his publicist. That guy is getting freaking famous.

Why did he change his name to Hutz? He was Eugene Nikoliev when he crashed with Cooley and me on our couch on Peru Street twelve years ago.
He used to tell stories of "true rebellion," about illicit parties in the woods in Ukraine where kids would trade and listen to rock and roll records, and run away from the cops. I remember thinking that was the shit, right there- fighting repression and risking prison for the true love of art. That's fuckin' gritty. That's fuckin' real. I still listen to my old Fags CD sometimes. I don't have any of his new stuff, but if I happen to catch it on RUV, I usually stop and listen. I like Eugene's voice and I like the energy of his music.

It's crazy but true: I read an interview with him in a magazine about his name change (Spin or something). He said that he wanted something short and to the point so he went with Hutz which I believe was a name on his Mother's side of the family. I also saw him dancing with Madonna and her dancers during the Live Earth concert recently - I think they were in England but I'm not sure. That was CRAZY!

BTW Haik, I LOVED when you ran for Mayor! That was a great time in my young life. Thanks for doing that. Neil, I'd love to see that pin if you could post a pic of that it would be awesome!

I don't know about others, but I come here for the calendar feature up there in the upper left corner. It's so much more convenient than looking at the paper calendar that's tacked to the wall next to my desk. --- Radio Free Eugene
