Kristin Hersh is a rock goddess.
Her new album is going to be published in book form by the nice people who published the b3ta sick joke book. (Mojo review)
They've agreed to an interview, but said we can only ask her three questions.
So add your questions here and (crucially) vote for your favourites.
We should have a copy of the book to give away to the highest voted question that she actually answers :)
We'll be collecting your questions for the next 24 hours.
OK - questions going off to her now. #1 is 'Who the fuck is Kristin Hersh?' which is actually quite perceptive question.

I'd like a decent interview with her, but 3 questions is a bit silly.
If we have three that could lead to expansive, interesting answers, then great. If not, I reckon we'd get better answers from some of the stuff posted so far than any "serious" question.
