Nita Strauss: Revolver interview



What kind of student were you? A nerd or a troublemaker or somewhere in between?

Aside from being stubborn about classwork, I flew under the radar for the most part. My closest friends were in my band, and none of them went to my school, so I mostly kept to myself and played guitar with a couple other kids during lunch breaks. I did plenty of troublemaking at that time, but for the most part it was outside the classroom!

What’s the worst trouble you got into while in school?

I remember at a school game in sophomore year, I shoved another girl into the sink in the bathroom because she grabbed the bottle of whiskey I had snuck in. She drank the last couple of big gulps. Someone went running to the teachers and we both got sent home. The funny part is, we only got in trouble for fighting, not for being 14 or 15 and drinking on campus!
