Matthew Sweet Does Not Write Songs About The Illuminati

  • Matthew Perpetua: This is Matthew, from Rolling Stone.
  • Matthew Sweet: Oh hey, the other Matthew. You have a cool last name! Does it actually mean 'perpetual'?
  • Matthew Perpetua: Yeah, I guess it means what it means. It's a Roman Catholic saint too, my father's family was Italian. Is Sweet your actual surname?
  • Matthew Sweet: Yeah, it is. Sweet is a Welsh name that had something to do with some people called the Bonesetter Sweet, who set broken bones.
  • Matthew Perpetua: But no connection to Skull and Bones?
  • Matthew Sweet: No.
  • Matthew Perpetua: That throws off all of my questions for you about Skull and Bones and the Illuminati.
  • Matthew Sweet: Yeah, yeah. Now what?
  • Matthew Perpetua: Are you saying that your new album is not about the Illuminati?
  • Matthew Sweet: No it is not.
  • Matthew Perpetua: But what about your previous records?
  • Matthew Sweet: No, they are not. [giggles] This is easy!
  • LOLZ...
