Daniel Nester interviews Rachel Shukert for Teen magazine (not really)

If you haven’t already seen it, Daniel Nester’s interview with Rachel Shukert, in which he asks the same questions that Teen Magazine asked Jamie Lynn Spears, is wonderful in too many ways to mention. 

Have you gotten advice from mom or sister about business?

Daniel’s poem Stardust Memories appeared on Linebreak on March 4, by the way.
