I've Experienced Great Things, I've Experienced Great

Cbgb Was A Wild Place, ... The First Time I Ever Played There Was In 1987, I Think, With My Hardcore Band, Scream. And I Remember The Craziest [thing] About That Club Was You Could Be In Front Of The Stage And It Could Be Louder Than Any Show You've Ever Been To In Your Life. But If You Were Towards The Back Of The Club At The Bar, You Could Sit And Have A Conversation With Someone. It Was The Weirdest Thing To Me.

My Songwriting Is Like Extending A Hand To The Listener.

Cbgb Represents A Lot To New York City And To Underground Rock And To New Wave And Post-punk And Whatever. But, You Know, It's Like Tearing Down The Jefferson Memorial Or Something.

No One Is You, And That Is Your Power.

Actually, I Didn't Start Sweating Until I Had Children.
