ldhensonThom Filicia had a quick phone interview with WNND radio ("hits of the '80s and '90s") in Chicago last evening! I was driving home and just happened to flip to that station at the right time.
I wondered if he was in Chicago too, but his greeting was "How's Chicago?" so I guess not. They ended the call by saying he had to catch a plane, so does anyone know where he was?
The pair of DJs were complimentary about the show and Thom was his usual friendly self. They played a snippet of "All Things" just before they put him on.
Some stuff I remember:
1. The male DJ asked what Thom would tell a guy like him who had all-white walls but was maybe kinda thinking about color. Thom's response was that people often think they have to paint the whole house, but you don't even have to do a whole room...painting just one wall in an interesting color can have quite an effect on its own.
2. The female DJ said that many people seem to think that when they decorate, they have to match everything. Thom said the trick to is to coordinate, not match. He used the example of someone wearing jeans: you don't also have to wear a jean jacket and a jean shirt and a jean scarf and jean socks and jean shoes. You just have to find what coordinates well.
3. The male DJ insisted he looked better these days thanks to QE!
4. Thom mentioned his design firm, and that a second book was in the works.
It probably lasted no more than five minutes. All in all it was a pretty neat, if not deep, interview, and I appreciated that they asked Thom's advice on real questions and gave him time to answer fully. Plus the DJs seemed to really like him.
