I've Probably Been Spit On More That

And For So Long, I Had Thought If I Was Going To Write A Song, Or Get "into" Something, I Had To At Least Smoke A Joint Or Something. And That Didn't Work Anymore. Once I Was Fairly Well Cleaned Out, Even A Little Bit Of A Drug Getting Into My Work Threw Me Off Kilter.

My General Take On American Music Since 1969 Is That It's Just Getting Stiffer And People Are Getting More Uptight - Audience, Performance, And Palace Guard.

In 1965, When Great Young White Artists In The English-speaking World Were Successfully Re-channeling Hillbilly And Black Music - You Know Bob Dylan, Ray Davies, Pete Townsend, Keith Richards - They Didn't Get Any Money At First. They Were All Broke.

I Never Say Never About Anything.

I Like Music That's More Offensive. I Like It To Sound Like Nails On A Blackboard, Get Me Wild.
