Moffatts On The Move
ALL-STARS:Do you have a story you tell people to explain the triplet thing?
SCOTT MOFFATT:Dave was actually the biggest when we were born.He was the heaviest,and the shortest.He's actually grown and now he's taller than Clint.
CLINT:He just eats and eats and it's his favorite thing to do.And then he got a little bit taller.We can't rub it in anymore.
ALL-STARS:Do you feel older,Scott?
SCOTT:I am older,but I don't feel older.I just feel like a brother.If I was 2 years older,it would be alot different.
BOB MOFFATT:I think for the three of us three as well,we don't consider ourselves triplets until somebody asks about it.We just consider ourselves as four brothers.
ALL-STARS:Not even identical twins?
CLINT:No.
ALL-STARS:Does Twin stuff happen to you?
SCOTT:There are several occassions when they were younger where they actually had that connection.Clint was born with a hernia,so they had to do an operation.They went to the hospital and Bob was taken home.As they were doing the operation,Bob woke up in the middle of the night.
BOB:They finished the operation at 4:00 in the morning.Clint woke up and started crying.At the same time,we were in Victoria and Clint was in I think,Vancouver.I woke up at 4:00 in the morning and started crying too.
SCOTT:The same thing happened a couple of years later.Clint was playing baseball with a friend and the kid took a swing back and hit Clint in the head.He was in total pain.They took him to the hospital cause he was really hurt.It turned out to be a minor concussion.Bob woke up in the middle of the night because Clint was really hurt.
ALL-STARS:Your personal styles are really different.Did you try to cultivate that?
DAVE MOFFATT:It was always like that.
CLINT:Musically,yes.Personality-wise too.Musically there are alot of differences which is great for a band.I mean,we don't want to take people's ideas and incorporate it into ours,in some ways we do...
ALL-STARS:You're influenced by the people you like.
SCOTT:Exactly.But,when we were really young,we used to dress exactly alike so that our Dad could spot us in the audience.Four boys in shorts and cowboy hats.
BOB:We used to wear the weirdest clothes.Pink shirts in green pants.
ALL-STARS:Do you think that's why you look so different from eachother now?
SCOTT:As we've gown older,we've changed.
CLINT:When we were younger we weren't too concerned with what we looked like.
ALL-STARS:When did the moment come when each of you said,"I'm going to do this" and express your individuality?
DAVE:I keep on making my decisions.
SCOTT:About two and a half years ago we cut our hair.I was about 12 when I said I'm going to wear something fashionable instead of just whatever I find.Clint was always fashionable.
CLINT:When I was younger,every single christmas I would ask for suits.
BOB:Clint is the kind of guy who would get up at 4 in the morning,get out of bed,fix his sheets,go back to bed.(Moffatts laugh.)
CLINT:I think when I was younger I really did care what I looked like.Because it's important,you know.You go out in public and people are always looking at you and it's important.We don't want to dress like our dad.
ALL-STARS:How do you define your personal styles?
CLINT:Scott goes for the trends.Whatever's hip,he's into.We went over to England and he saw the fashion over there and he just loved it.
CLINT:And Dave dosen't care.
DAVE:That IS a trend now.(all laugh)
