Everybody Wasn't Always Wasted. Why Is Punk

I Belive Power Can Be Used For Good, I Don't Think Every Form Of Power Is Absolute Evil. I Wish I Would Have Stepped In, And I Really Regret It. And That's Why I Really Encourage Young People Who Are Organizing To Speak Up.

So Many Women Have Experienced Horrific Forms Of Male Violence Throughout Their Lives, And Why Isn't There A Song About How You Get Depressed Because Of It? And You Don't Know What To Do, And You Don't Know How To Talk To Your Friends And How Weird It Is To Be A Feminist In That Situation, Where There's Sort Of The Expectation That You're Super-strong Superwoman But You're Just, Like, Eating Pizza In Your House Avoiding Talking About It.

Jason Mraz, And The New James Blunt Song Is The Worst Thing That Has Ever Been Created On The Face Of The Earth.

The Idea That Musicians/artists Have A Responsibility To Be Community Leaders Or "role Models" Is Problematic To Me Because I Really Believe That Some Of The Most Exciting Art Is Not Community-minded At Least In Any Obvious Or Direct Way, Which Is Not To Say That It Is Not Ethical Or Consciousness-changing.

I Talked A Lot Early On In My Career About Intersectionality And How Racism And Classism And Sexism And Homophobia And Capitalism Are All Connected With Each Other, And They're These Crazy Systems That Are Feeding On Each Other And Are Also Damaging. I Can't Even Go Into The Whole Spectrum Of It. But I Feel Like Kids Today Are So Much More Savvy About That Conversation. And I'm So Thrilled When I Get To Meet Younger People Who Are Doing That So Much Better Than I Did.
