As I am sure all of you know, I am a big fan of the tv show Dawson's Creek. The teeny-bopper soap opera, coded, um, written in the post-ironic voice of Scream writer Kevin Williamson is coming to a long deserved, yet saddening retirement. One of the plotlines of the show, as it spirals to its end has dealt with a band that several of the female characters have formed called Helles Belles.
One of the many wonderful features of the Dawson's Creek website is a section called Ask Jason in which you can send an email question to a writer. It will become clear in a moment that the Ask Jason section is not being ansered by Jason, but by Script Coordinator Joe, which really doesn't matter.
I sent questions every few months for years, but finally today one of my questions has been published and answered!
Finally, something I wrote can be on the INTERNET!
JOSEPH B: I was wondering if in naming the band Hells Belles the DC writers were giving a sweet tip of the hat to the late-great world's best all girl all AC/DC cover band of the same name.
JOE: Good call Joseph B. We have something in the office here that we like to call Tom Kapinos, and Lord knows he likes the rock! Most of the satanic kitsch and metal references in the show this year were influenced by him, notably the Tenacious D t-shirt that Bob wore on the road trip. Kapinos trivia: Teenage Tom was once in a metal band called “Mysstery”. Not a typo… that’s a double ‘S’ there kids. Wha-wha-what… Reunion tour…?
