The question
What is the worst job you have ever had?Originally asked
The Guardian, to a different person each week, The Q&A
The Guardian's long-running Q&A repeatedly asks this standing question, with minor tense variation.
You answer as yourself. Nobody on FLAPSS answers as anybody else.
When Rufus first came out, it was all white guys and myself, but then the band changed and Tony Maiden, Bobby Watson and Andre Fischer came in. This guy booked us for a gig in Illinois, based on our original album cover, and when we got there he said that there were too many black people in the band. He actually put some white guys on the stage with us.

Once, I was MC at a Christmas gig in Romford and a woman threw a dildo at my face.
A really bad film for no money: the director had no idea what he was doing and I was wondering: why am I here?
I was a guard on the Orient Express – however, only when it was stationed at a railway siding in Vauxhall.
I’ve never had a job.
Staying alive, being here at this age. So many songs. It’s crazy.
That I have no patience.
A friend said, “If you remembered everything you did, you’d kill yourself.” He’s sort of crazy, but he’s probably right.
To not be afraid, to stand there and be strong and loving and honest.
Peace and honesty.
The fact that I’m a vampire.
