Fader:
How have you been received in Eau Claire since things took off? Do people stop you?
Justin Vernon:
Yeah, there are always strangers, maybe they’re not from here or I’ve never met them before, but 85 to 95 percent of the time I get stopped it’s because I haven’t seen a friend in the three months while I’ve been away or on the road. ... People know me or they don’t know me. If they do, they don’t give a shit about anything. They might ask a question, like, “Dude, how is it? What the fuck? I heard you’re going to have a song on the Twilight soundtrack. That’s fucked up!” And I’m like, Yeah, it is fucked up.
