I Never, Ever Had It In My

We Had Punks Literally Protesting Fugazi. I Respect A Boycott. I Respect A Conscionable Boycott, But Of All Bands To Boycott? Fight Crime. If You Really Want To Get Out There, Go Fight Crime.

If You Want To Rebel Against Society, Don’t Dull The Blade

I'm Basically In Every Band I Ever Was In, And The Songs, I Still Mean Them All. I Don't Take Anything Back, So I Do Look After Them To Some Degree. But My Main Focus Is On What I'm Doing Now.

I'm Not Talking About What Came Later [after The American Underground Punk Scene], Indie Music, Or Whatever You Want To Call It, But The Music That Came Before That - That's An Important Story. So Many Interviews With Musicians Get The Time Or Context Wrong. You Have These Older Bands, Usually Men, Who Tell Stories About "oh, We Got Into This Huge Fight, This Guy Punched That Guy," That's The Wrong Sort Of Story. My View Of The Time Is Truly Pioneering.

Music Is A Language And Different People Who Come Along Are Each Using That Language To Do Something Different, But All Coming At It In A Similar Vein Inasmuch As It's Always Community Based And For The Most Part Nonprofit. Most Bands Don't Ever Come Within A Mile Of Profit - Clearly These People Are Not Playing Music To Make Money.
