There are a lot of things Ive never done in life, but interviewing
John Hiatt while wearing swim trunks is no longer on that list. Lying
on the lido deckyes, the lido deckand sipping on some fruitilicious
alcoholic concoction while our ship sailed back from Jamaica to Miami,
it was easy to forget that I was here for work, and more specifically,
that my work involved interviewing Hiatt. Hence my not having time to
change.
We were both aboard the Cayamo cruise in the Western Caribbean. Id
seen him with Lyle Lovett wandering around that same lido deck the day
before, and neither musician were attacked by adoring fans. But as
deferential as his fellow cruisers were when they were off-duty, they
were wildly enthusiastic once Hiatt took the stage. His 18th album,
Same Old Man, is due out on May 27.
