If you had to describe 2008 in one picture, which one would it be or what would it look like?
Steve Wynn: That's easy. 250,000 people crowded into Grant Park in Chicago on the evening of November 4.
Your song of the year?
SW: "All The Blowing Themselves Up Motherfuckers (Will Realize the Minute They Die That They Were Suckers)"-Julian Cope
Best gig you have attended in 2008?
SW: NRG Krysus at my wedding reception (Richmond, May 11)
Any Spinal Tap moment while on tour in 2008 you like to tell us about?
SW: I've eliminated Spinal Tap moments from my touring experience and have replaced them all with "Don't Look Back" moments.
Best experience while on the road?
SW: Staying up late to watch the presidential debates and knowing that the tide was surely turning.
Magic moment on stage. Where and why?
SW: Playing "Manhattan Fault Line" with the Dragon Bridge Orchestra at the Strade Blu Festival in Faenza and knowing that the big sound of "Crossing Dragon Bridge" could translate to the stage.
Best motorway service area in Europe? Best interstate service area in the US?
SW: There's a place outside of Zaragoza, Spain where they do amazing things with calamari and have cheap hotel rooms where they always seem to be showing baseball. In the US? We're just grateful when we find a Taco Bell.
Best new food you have found out about this year?
SW: Breakfast on a stick, Minnesota State Fair
Can we help you find something?
