Wise man say: Show me an interview that references fast food, and I’ll show you an interview with The Black Keys.
OK, maybe that’s over-stating how often The Black Keys discuss fast food in interviews.
Nevertheless, when I read this excellent interview with Pat I started to understand the instrinsic link he has with fast food:
I ate McDonalds every single day. I ate off the dollar menu because it was all I could afford. I had two dollars a day for sandwiches, two dollars a day for beer, two dollars a day for cigarettes and two dollars for coffee – I lived off 10 dollars a day for a long time.
The time period is not mentioned in the article although I’m thinking it was months to a year or so. Long enough, irrespective. If I ate McDonalds for that long no doubt I would (unconsciously?) talk about fast food all the time too.
Having said that, Pat or Dan won’t eat anything or anywhere and certainly not at Chrissie Hynde’s VegiTerranean restaurant in Akron, OH:
We’ve been on eBay, looking at hot-dog carts,” Auerbach quipped.
They have the perfect location picked out for their cart, too: Highland Square, near staunch vegan Hynde’s apartment.
“It’s a dream of ours,” Auerbach said, laughing.
