This is a great question. Between having worked in radio and for Bumbershoot, I've had the pleasure of meeting many the musician, and I've always been pretty easy with the idea. I even met Stephin Merritt last year before the same show igDana explained (picked him up from the airport, in fact) where I played the whole thing with a "hey, dude" attitude.
I do have to say I was a little dumbfounded to have been hanging out with Ben Fong-Torres last year at Bumbershoot (three or four times, in fact).
But my answer to this question would be: although I'd love the chance to just kick it with Tom Waits, maybe get a couple beers, I could never, ever interview the mad genius.
