WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE WHEN YOU GROW UP? is way better than a career personality test. It’s our way of celebrating those person, places, and things that are pretty good at life.
When I grow up I want to be John Ruskin, better known as Nardwuar the Human Serviette. Nardwuar the Human Serviette is guerrilla journalism at its finest. He got his start at the University of British Columbia’s radio station CITR 101.9 FM with a show that runs every Friday 3:30-5:00PM Pacific. His show is an enthusiastic mix of music and interviews.
He’s a relentless media personality better described by watching a video of his celebrity interviews. He opens with a “Who are you?” and continues to barrage his subject with questions through the entire interview. He does exhaustive research before his interviews, bringing up facts his interviewees have even forgotten.
He’s made GWAR chuckle. Snoop Dog has stolen from him. He brought out a grade school photo of Josh Homme (Queens of the Stone Age). He left Chris Fehn (Slip Knot) speechless in annoyance. Quiet Riot chased him down the street. And he asked Mikhail Gorbachev which world leader had the biggest pants.
For this, I want to be a Nardwuar when I grow up. Doot doota loot doo…
Doot doot!
