The Dallas Observer sat down with her royal hotness Kim Gordon, dissecting her busy schedule, her life as a mother, and the many other things she has going on, including that band she's in-Sonic Youth.
DO: So how can you spend half of your life on the road and still be painting?
Gordon: Well, this has been a really busy spring, but generally we just tour around a record. We're not one of those bands that goes on tour for a year or something. [Thurston and I] have a daughter, and Lee has kids so, you know, I try and tour around her school schedule. We've been gone a lot this spring already, so it's hard. And I think it's actually harder for moms to leave their kids. I know some people say, "How come people don't make a big deal about asking fathers what it's like to go on the road?" It is hard for them too, but I think it's easier if you have one parent at home that's taking care of it.
