M. MUSIC VIDEOS

M1. What's the story behind the "Heroin Girl" video?

The band put an ad in a local Portland newspaper letting people know that the video shoot was taking place. A number of local high school kids ditched school that day to participate.

The director gave out a number of 8mm film cameras to the kids, and let them film the band. The band played the song several times. The footage was then edited together to make the finished product.

The students were later suspended from school, and Everclear received a nice little note from the Portland School Board.

M2. What's the story behind the "Heartspark Dollarsign" video?

The video was directed by Larry Clark, who directed the 1995 movie "Kids". When he turned in the final version of the video to Art, Art was appalled - in his opinion, several of the scenes were borderline child pornography. Art opted to re-edit the video himself. What you've seen on MTV is Art's re-edit.

(BTW - Art has a film degree from UCLA.)

M3. Who are the women with Art and Greg at the beginning of the dream sequence in "You Make Me Feel Like a Whore"?

Greg is with his now-wife Ellina, Art is with his wife Jenny. (Craig wasn't dating anyone at the time the video was shot.)

M4. That blonde girl in "Everything to Everyone" looks familiar. Where else have I seen her?

She also appears in the video for Blink 182's "Dammit".

M5. Is that little girl in the "Everything to Everyone" video Art's daughter?

Nope. She's just an actress who resembles Art's daughter Anna.

M6. Who's the guy with the accordion in the video for "I Will Buy You a New Life"?

That's Rami Jaffee of the Wallflowers. He plays vox organ on the track itself.

M7. Is that Art's wife, daughter, and son at the end of the "Father of Mine" video?

Nope. And, for the record, Art doesn't have a son, just a daughter - Anna.

M8. Who's that old guy in the "One Hit Wonder" video?

That's Wink Martindale, who has hosted many classic game shows, including "Tic, Tac, Dough" and the current USA game show "Debt".

M9. What's this I hear about porn stars in the video for "Boys Are Back in Town"?

In the video, Janine (who's also on the cover of Blink 182's Enema of the State and in the video for "What's My Age Again") dances on stage during the 70's performance. Also, Ron Jeremy makes a cameo appearance as a security guard.
