The Money Shot: Neko Case

The New Porno star talks shit with Macleans...

"Thriller sucks," says Neko Case, sitting in a Toronto breakfast place, listening to Michael Jackson's Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough. "I don't know why the f--- everyone loves Thriller. That shit is cheesy. Off the Wall -- that's the album." This morning, Case, 35, has a beast of a cold -- running nose, puffy eyes and gravelly voice -- and she's in a critical mood. Later she declares: "I'm not into the Beatles. I know every one of their songs, every word -- because my parents played it over and over. But it doesn't seem like music to me. I know it's genius. But I don't ever want to hear it again."
