I Think It's My Nature To Engage

Let's Say For Instance People Say, "he's A Really Totalitarian, Strict Guy, He's Hard To Work With Or Whatever." I Don't Think It's True, But People's Perception Of Me Leads That Direction, Like I'm A Fundamentalist Person. I End Up Having To Spend Extra Time Saying, "i'm Not A Fundamentalist." I Have Other Stuff To Do.

I Just Have Work To Do; I Just Do It.

I Think That The Idea Of Straight Edge, The Song That I Wrote, And The Way People Have Related It It, There's Some People Who Have Abused It, They've Allowed Their Fundamentalism To Interfere With The Real Message, Which In My Mind, Was That People Should Be Allowed To Live Their Lives The Way They Want To.

I Always Appreciate When People Save, And More Importantly, Share. As We Speak, There Are People In This World - Mostly Men - Who Have Giant Collections Of Recordings That No One Will Ever Hear. And The Value Of That Collection Is Almost Defined By The Fact That Nobody Else Can Hear It.

Truth Is, Right Now Two Bombs Could Drop Out Of The Sky And Blow Up This House And Whatever Building You're In And Just Obliterate Dischord And Pitchfork. And There'll Be Some People Crying, There'll Be Some Slow Singing, But For 99% Of The World, It Won't Even Affect The Fly On Their Soup. Most Of The World Never Have, Or Ever Will Hear Of Me, Fugazi, Or Pitchfork. Right Now, Someone Just Got Killed In Ukraine. Do You Feel Any Different?
