When you’re the bass player of the Sealed Weasels, people always want to know more about you. You’re like a God.
It’s not like being a lead guitarist with Lightning Quick Chops. It’s different from being the lead singer with tight pants where everyone and your Mother can see your instrument. It’s actually a lot different than that.

It’s more like being a musician.

The first thing that people want to know about me is how to approach me in public, to talk or to just be in my presence. I like to treat everyone as a friend and to be treated as a friend. So therefore, when you approach me in the street, call me Dr X, like a friend would. This is what my friends call me and this is what I’d like you to call me. It’s getting to the point where I barely recognize my own name when it’s shouted out across the room.

Thus, shouting out, “ Hey, Dr X!!” will get me to look your way faster then you can Alt-Tab when your boss walks in your cubicle. Although, Dr X is to me, what Sting is to, Sting, minus the striped shirt. Dr X. is really something of a misnomer. I’m not really a Doctor, Medical or otherwise. I’m not even a Podiatrist. Nothing! But what can I do? People keep calling me Dr X., and that’s that!

When people come up to me on the street, they usually have one of two questions that they ask.

The first question they ask is, “ Dr X. What is your contribution to the band? “

To which I reply. “I have only ever contributed one thing to Sealed Weasels. I wrote the Lyrics to one of our Greatest, least played, most often Fucked up song, The Weatherman".

Yes, it is true, these were completely original lyrics. However, I have been accused of plagiarizing these lyrics. This is not true! I wrote these lyrics myself from a completely original muse. I remember as if it was yesterday.

I wrote it shortly after reading a poem, out of a book, Just Add Water by Uni Dublin. It was a great book, but completely uninspiring towards my lyrical output. If these lyrics turn out to be similar, or word for word from that poem, it is merely a coincidence. I can’t be blamed that Mr. Dublin chose the same words as I, put them in the same order as I, and did it months, perhaps years before I did, can I? I think not!

The next question that people always ask is, “ Where did the name, Sealed Weasels come from?”

I always say, “I have only ever contributed one thing to Sealed Weasels. And that was that I named the band. The Sharon Clancy Band".

That was the name I gave the band. If it wasn't for Wally, and Paul, the band might still be named The Sharon Clancy Band. And that’s how we came to be known as Sealed Weasels.

That’s the entire list of FAQ’s. That’s what people ask me on the street. The only other thing I get asked is if I can kiss their baby’s forehead, which I decline (I wouldn't want to steal The Pope’s Thunder).

I hope that I have covered all your questions. And this is where I must leave you. Enjoy the tunes, and if you ever see me on the street, don’t hesitate to shout out, “ Hey Dr X! “ And if someone ever pisses you off, just tell him or her to get sealed, weasel!

Dr. X
