Doc and The True Fans of Stern interview Larry Pierce!!

Douchebigelow: Who the hell is Larry Pierce???
Larry Pierce: Who am I? Briefly as I can. I've recorded 13 albums starting in 1993 with Laughing Hyena Entertainment. They only distribute at truck-stops nationwide, so mostly only truck drivers knew who I was until 2003, when a touring band from Colorado Springs (-ITIS) found me and set up a few live appearances with them. About the same time, these filmmakers from New York found me and wanted to do a documentary on my life. Things just kinda suddenly started happening recently after about 10 years of no recognition at all. I was shocked!

OneNutWillie: What is your fascination is with being jacked off with a sock? (It was a line in at least two of the songs played on Howard.)
Larry Pierce: Jacked off with a sock? I got that several years ago from reading Penthouse forum--about a girl who threw a sock over the guys dick to contain the mess. I thought it was funny as hell, so I used it.

Bloodorflies: I'd like to know if, and how much, he has been influenced by David Allen Coe?
Larry Pierce: David Allen Coe? I can't say that I was influenced any at all by him. I thought his dirty songs were kinda amateurish.

Terry Gale: Has he ever done an advertising type animated video clip (ala YouTube)? What does Larry consider to be his best song?
Larry Pierce: Animated video clip? Oh no. My best song? I don't know about being my BEST song, but my favorite song is "Gigolo" from the Greatest Hits album and Dirty Old Man album.
