What Not to Ask in an Interview

Siouxsie Sioux has never evinced a particular fondness for interacting with music journalists or press flacks, but she really exploded in the October 2007 issue of Mojo magazine when asked about the swastika she wore -- once, 30 years ago, back in the heady days of "shocking" behavior by punks. (Apparently, acting pouty while Bill Grundy interviewed the Sex Pistols is a lesser crime.) After bickering back and forth for several minutes, she stormed off, but returned later for a separate interview to field questions pertaining to her recent solo debut, Mantaray.

Unfortunately, attempts to find the interview online have proved fruitless, but the far more sedate Uncut interview is around, plus scads more material on the new album.
