Rock and roll ain't meant to be tame. And no doubt Xiu Xiu frontman Jamie Stewart knows a thing or two about letting out his wild side. He may look like an angel, but boy's got the sonic spirit of a hell bound demon. In a good way, of course.

The Emotions Issue certainly wouldn't be complete without a few words from a porn star. Sure, we could have picked any old porn star, but our dear contributor Jesse Finkelstein thought it would be fun to interview Teddy Prince: porn star poet extraordinaire.

Jerome Kantor started life like most good Jewish boys – he attended private school in upstate New York, went to an Ivy League School, and received his MFA in Creative Writing. But between college and graduate school, however, things took an unexpected, decidedly untraditional turn. Jerome Kantor became Teddy Prince, underground gay porn-star, or as the gay porn press dubbed him “Lord Teddy, the Porn-Poet”. Finkelstein had a chance to sit down with Teddy while he was taking time off from shooting his latest film, So That’s Where That Goes.

After the jump, see what Finkelstein and Heindreich has to say about the evolution of so-called "Youth", the relationship between guppies and gays and why the Mark Foley's scandal's not only insanely boring, but speaks volumes about the establishment's fear of children.
