Best quotes of '08: Terry Kennedy
I was assigned a piece on Evan Hernandez about a year ago, but Evan didn't want to do an interview over the phone. He just emailed me answers to my questions, which ended up being rather cut, dry and impersonal. In Evan's defense, he had an experience he wasn't happy with when he did an interview with another mag a few years prior and just didn't want to risk it happening again.
Enter Terry Kennedy... Godsend. He's a good friend of Evan's and agreed to talk to me and shed some light on Evan for me, from the perspective of a long-time friend, since Evan wasn't into talking. He saved the article 100 percent. And I laughed really hard when he told me this story:
TK: “One time, I sold that dude [Evan] a fake Jacob watch for like a G. I told him my cousin jacked it from somebody at a rap concert. He was running around showing everybody, but that shit was fake.”
RB: “Did you feel guilty? I mean, he was your good friend, right?”
“Nah! I was bad then. I was from Long Beach. I was looking at Evan like, ‘You’re makin’ money, man! I don't got none! So fuck it! I’ll sell you this watch if you’ll believe it.’”
“What did he say when he found out it was fake?”
“He was like ‘That's fucked up man!’ He wasn't even mad or anything! Hahahah."
