Transcripted from: "B.T. ~ Breakfast Television
14 February 2003
Craig:Yeah, I scored that film and another film for Bruce McCulloch called Dog Park.
Terry: Dog Park.
Craig: Janeane Garafolo. And uh. I just keep getting, getting called up and it’s great.
Suzie: [incredulous and awed] You just keep getting called!
Terry: Is it because you’re *QUIRKY* ?
[TDM teasing]
Craig: I think I just sort of think the same way, and understand what they mean in musical terms and, uh - know how to stay out of the way.
Terry: You’re quirky.
Craig: I just know how to stay ou--there’s a lot more[laugh] going on in that little camp, so--
Terry: I notice that you chose not to act.
Craig: I do act in the uh,
[to camera]
...you’ll see in the pay-per-view special airing right now.
Terry: You do?
Craig: Well, yeah I’m sort of the glum, I’m the glum foil. You know, and uh the straight man - -
Terry: Okay, um –
Craig: ...as if they need one.
Suzie: Okay, now you’ve got a residency coming up or you’ve already started it at the Green Room, right? Tell us about that.
Craig: Yeah. The House Of Blues are trying to get something going there. Where people who are known for something come and do consecutive Tuesdays or Mondays… John Mann from Spirit of the West is doing February and then I’m gonna do…starting March 18th, do every Tuesday for four weeks.
Terry: With the Power Trio?
Craig: -- It’s kinda like going on the road at home.
Suzie: Love that.
Craig: With the Power Trio a bit, and I’ll switch it up – with a bit of Sharkskin which is ...instrumental --
Terry: Yeah. With some of the same guys?
Craig: Some of the same guys --
Terry: --Dressed up. You promised some trickery. What’s the trickery?
Craig: Uh. That you won’t even know it’s music.
Terry: Oh. It’s seamless.
Craig: Yeah. You just won’t even be thinking about it.
Terry: Hm.
Suzie: ...and Giddy Up...
Craig: It’s a pure entertainment product.
Terry: It is that.
Suzie: Pure product.
[Uh, yeah, way to hang in there Suzy. Sarcasm? My transcript, deal with it]
Craig[laugh]: Yeah.
Suzie: Giddy Up. Available now?
Craig: Yeah, yeah, it just came out on Wednesday. So. Rush down, and it might not be in the store but you might.. have to ask, for it again...
Terry: Will you tell them what that spa---
[Pulling at cord, ear device for monitoring you voice wrapped around Craig]
Craig: Oh (Geez? These? Unintelligible, all talking at once)
Suzie: Yeah, we gotta explain that!
Craig: Oh.
[Craig garbled, sounded like Jesus Christ thrown in there, and probably was, because Terry shot a quick look offstage a little stricken...it's a live broadcast thing]
Craig:These are little baby kangaroos that you stick in your ears.
[Suzie Wall giggles]
To hear nowadays, it’s a modern --
Terry: Is that to hear your vocals?
Craig: It is. Yeah. To hear your own voice. As if you can’t hear it...
Terry: Of course, yeah.
Craig: [Referring to old age to much older Mulligan, who chooses to ignore all age jokes that morning] We’re all..We’re all getting on...
Terry: Are there any...other than me talking about it...any thoughts about an Odds reunion of any type? Steven Drakes got his own career going...
Craig: Yeah, he’s a busy...producer guy. Well. Maybe one time.
Terry: If we all whined, would you come back?
Craig: Yeah, if everybody just *nnehhhyuhh* called me.
[screws up face like a two year old to the camera]
*Neeyuhhh*
Terry: Why did you leave ---
Craig: (unintelligible. Sounded like: I’m gonna cop for)... a holdout. [Still referring to previous question]
Terry: --in the first place?
Craig: Uh. Why did I leave...I guess ya just kinda know it’s time. Ya know. Being on a band agenda for so many years, it’s kinda hard on you. And you go: Oh well, it doesn’t hurt other people to do it on their own for a little awhile, so...
Suzie: How many years was it with The Odds?
Craig: Eleven? Something like that.
Terry: Yeah.
Craig: Ten or eleven.
Terry: That’s two years in rock ‘n roll.
Suzie: Yeah.
Craig: In dog years, yeah.
Suzie: -- a couple of years.
Craig: No, that’s about thirty years in rock ‘n roll.
Terry: It takes its’ toll.
Craig: Yeah sure, ya just kinda go it’s time to try other things and...I dunno. We went out on a good note. It’s good.
[All expressionless answers on the topic. In contrast to...well, the next guy Terry talks to]
Terry: Alright. You have thirty seconds to talk about your hockey team. Anything you wanna say about the ‘Nucks?
Craig: I can’t say anything that hasn’t already been said I’m sure, in this length of time but...
Terry: Well you’re a passionate...
Craig: [Does a hang ten with hand pump to camera] Pretty bitchin’.
Terry: Isn’t it great?
Craig: Yeah, that’s a good –-
Terry: And then, so when there’s a Stanley Cup –-
Craig: Although apparently you’re not allowed to say anything bad about them anymore.
[Rolls eyes to someone off-screen]
Terry: That’s right.
Suzie: I’m all for that.
Terry: -- but that’s a whole ‘nother show.
