Keith Morris might be even wilder on the phone than he is on the concert stage.
During the course of a roughly 30-minute conversation, the punk-rock vocalist moshes his way through a variety of topics, ranging from unseasonably cold weather in Los Angeles (“When I went to bed last night, it was like I could see my breath”) to conspiracy theories (“I love conspiracy theories”) to allergy season (“I have all of the allergies”) to Northern California’s own Streetlight Records (“That’s a great record store”).
Oh, yeah, and he also found time to talk about the Circle Jerks, Morris’ legendary Southern California hardcore punk now embarking on a long-awaited reunion tour. The Circle Jerks feature Morris, guitarist and fellow founding member Greg Hetson, bassist Zander Schloss and drummer Joey Castillo.
