Great interview. Funny how Mark's vocabulary was a little, let's say, wider that particular day if you know what I mean 

I thought just the same. It doesn't suit him well.

Not at all. In fact I can't even picture him saying those words. I mean, not being judgemental here, we all curse in private but Mark talking like that in an interview was a first to me.

I can only think of another interview where he drops the f bomb, and it was in a 1992 Guitar Player magazine, during the OES tour. At that time he was a lot younger plus he was going through a tough time (and I think the interview took place just after a show and that the journalist indicated that Mark had been drinking a little), so at that time it 'sounded' a bit different. Now that he is 'elderly' and in a very different situation in life, it just sounds strange.
