Random Music Interview

Yeah... Red Sox Nation (google cached page) sat down with Lenny last month to discuss his then-upcoming Hot Stove/Cool Music performance.  Among the most awkward questions asked?

How similar are pitching and playing the guitar?

And Lenny was gracious enough to play along:

They're very similar. There are 100 styles of both, and the more unique you are, the better your chances of being successful. It's like a lead guitarist like Joey Santiago of the Pixies. You hear him play, and you know exactly who it is. A lot of other guys are just carbon-copies of someone else. Pitching is the same. A guy like Greg Maddux can throw four different fastballs on the same corner. They'll all move differently, and it's like a work of art how he does it. What he does is a unique, honed craft, just like Santiago.
