M.H.: What are your rehearsals generally like? (I can only imagine).

L.M.: Our rehearsals aren't what you might think. We aren’t getting wasted and fucking

around. We actually try to work hard to sound tight. If anything, I'm the only loose wheel. The

chaos as we can possibly get away with -- without offending anyone, of course.

M.H.: Lenny, thank you once again. We’ll keep an eye out for new music and shows from

Lenny Mental and The Besmirchers.
