"As the plane was landing from Baltimore into Oakland," says Deacon, "I started thinking, `What if this is one of those insane kidnapping scams?! What if this is just the new 'You inherited a million dollars!'?' But the driver that picked me up wasn't an insane kidnapping person." Instead of being held for ransom, Deacon hung out for a few days and found Coppola to be "laid-back and insanely welcoming." You can read the entire interview here.
