Ambush Interview #123 MediaGuy

couldn't resist...

going where no man has gone before

Very interesting,

always enjoyed reading the Ambush interviews, puts a little bit of tradition and character back into today's wild west environment

Love your date

holy fuck, its been that long already?
thats longer than the careers of most GFYers

good to see the Ambush back!

For some reasons, I was seeing them coming

And it all started with a plastci cup on the head... Greg was still standing & sleeping, so I bought barmaid's lipstick

Ah memories....



.

This is a great interview to start off with again. Glad to see that they're back.

That was evil guys! Who was his date that was supposed to bring him back to his hotel room BEFORE this happened????!!!

Good interview though, glad to see them and you back Sleazy.

Wow ambush is back that is awesome. I have to say media guy I always thought of you more as a joke with the pics floating around and can definitely appreciate you more now. Way to go Sleazy on another great choice.

Yeah, hippies... like many things American I have a love/hate relationship with hippies.

On the one hand, this whole sense of human community, and support, and big cuddly hugginess...

I remember just trudging across this dry farmlot populated with 45,000 cars in Kansas at a Dead show. And these self-appointed watchers of dehydration with a spritzer bottle full from a cooler full of ice spraying me as I passed on the way to the facilities. It was a purely gratuitious act of kindness and compassion.

And any time any one needed that and some support, they almost didn't have to ask. It was acceptance and sharing on a kind level... it was relief from the intolerant, judgmental conservative mentality (which is in itself judgmenta on my part) I encountered all too often in the US.

It's funny 'cause Hippies treated me the same very often on first meeting me. I was bald. They thought I was a narc. My buddy was a long-hair, but still... we often saw one "real" cop narc with no hair and some poor schmuck from the drunk tank acting as his hippie "legitimizer" at Dead shows, sitting in a repo'ed VW bus smoking "stuff" that was fruit resin from a "bong" and saying it was "good shit", etc etc...

But the community was strong and wise and stuck together nicely.

But sometimes the whole "Heey Maaan" patchouli barefoot dirty smelly thing just got to be too much of a geek thing to me, so I craved crooner lounges and straight people, and my baldness always helped with that

When I got into adult I encountered the same spirit - the same communal "Us against Them" thing that, though we might have our beefs against each other, though we may compete in the same niches and media, keeps us bound somehow since we're all we've got, after us, it's the sharks, the mainstream, the FBI, the church committee or the neighbourhood decency squad, whatever...

I remember one fine moment after the Ashcroft version of 2257 when JD Obenberger at Qwebec Expo referred to the adult industry as the frontline in the fight for freedom of expression. I was a proud porn guy then.

Good morning GFY, btw :P

:D

Some more lipstick for Greg



Great interview so far.......... Greg is the greatest guy I know in this business, and it's a pleasure to get to know more about him!

Welcome back

Looks like it will be a lot of fun!

9. What?s the oldest cat you ever knew?

The oldest cat wasn't no cougar (wink, yeha you know who) but just a regular housecat I got when he was 1 and I was eleven.

I named him Jack because the minute my sister brought him home (she was always bringing home stray cats, but this one was going to be put down by the local pet shop for being too old for their inventory so they sold it to my sister for a dollar), it adopted me, and was lying on my belly while I was reading an interview with Jack Nicholson and watching a documentary on Jack the Ripper, when the wind slammed the door shut and the cat JUMPED off me, ripping into my skin with its back claws... go gifure. I named him Jack.

So yeah I had that cat until it was 26 or 27, when it kinda wandered off into the wild back alleys of Montreal, where he sorta reigned as a scourge to both toms and stupid, curious dogs, to die, i figure. Heard it was a cat "thing", that.

He was a pretty groovy animal, very gentle, intelligent, and civilized even. I mean, he would do stuff like dip his paw into a cup of milk to drink it, draining off any excess in the cup before he licked away... little things.

Anyhow I have a great picture of my daughter at 6 or 8 months, when we had a pro over for some Classic Baby pics with Cassandre in her little dress and all that, and during the session that big old cat, who loved her very much, was wondering what was up, so he hopped up onto the cushion next to where she was sitting. So I have this great picture of them, well taken, that is forever.

Actually, "Jack" was also my daughter's first word, before even daddy ("da" doesn't count).

:D

I'm so happy to have Scott back, the Ambush' are cake!

Enjoying reading MediaGuy's answers, it's been a while!
