Aaron May Dishes About Why He Pisses People Off and Describes His Last Supper (You'll Love the Dessert)


You're one of those people other people seem to love or hate. Why?:
I'm passionate about everything I do, and I do what I love. There are very few people who live their life that way, and I guess it evokes a strong reaction. I think that the the group that loves me knows me a whole lot better than the group that hates.

If you could have an audience with your detractors, what would you like to say to them?: Fuck them. I wouldn't waste my time.

Last meal on earth -- what would it be?: I'd like a picnic -- blanket in a meadow, blue skies overhead. Live music. Beer on ice. Pate, charcuterie and cheese give way to oysters and caviar. Fried chicken, cole slaw and pickles. Milky white bread, salted butter. And finish it all off with a well-made pot brownie.

What should be written on your head stone?: Here lies Aaron May. This guy knew how to live.
