As Far As What People Think Of

Punk-rock Gave Music Back To People. For A Long Time, When I Was Very Young, I Went To Go See Arena Rock Bands. I Was 16 And It Was All I Could Get In To See, Legally. And I Saw Led Zeppelin And Ted Nugent And Van Halen And All That. Me And [minor Threat And Fugazi Vocalist] Ian Mackaye Would Go To These Concerts, And It Was Fun.

To Justify Being Listened To, I Try To Be As Well Informed As I Can. Hence, The Travel. Reading Is Good Too. Reading Gets You Part Way There, And I Do Read Pretty Voraciously For A Guy Who's Trying To Write So Much.

I'm A Recognizable Person And Some People Feel The Need For Some Reason To Take Me To Task. You're Really Messing With The Wrong Person On That One.

I Get Tired Of Talking When I Want To Be Silent.

I Don't Have Talent. I Have Tenacity.
