I Don't Really Go Out

I Have No Sense Of Patriotism, But I Do Have A Sense Of Community.

I Was Never Too Interested In High School. I Mean, I Never Went To A Dance, I Never Went Out On A Date, I Never Went Steady. It Became Pretty Awful For Me. Except, Of Course, I Could Go See Bands, And That Was The Kick. I Used To Go To Cleveland Just To See Any Band. So I Was In Love A Lot Of The Time, But Mostly With Guys In Bands That I Had Never Met. For Me, Knowing That Brian Jones Was Out There, And Later That Iggy Pop Was Out There, Made It Kind Of Hard For Me To Get Too Interested In The Guys That Were Around Me. I Had, Uh, Bigger Things In Mind.

When I Was 16, The Pot Weeded Out The Men From The Boys, There Were The Heads And The Straights. Now It's Almost Like Money Can Weed It Out, You Know?

Being On Tour Sends Me Crazy, I Drink Too Much And Out Comes The John Mcenroe In Me.

The Cliché Of That Sort Of Wasted, Renegade, Drugged-out Musician Of The '70s Is Kind Of Dead And Gone Now. And I Suppose That A Lot Of People Still Keep Relying On That, Or Some Kind Of Image To Perpetuate Something That They Think They're Supposed To Sound Like. But That Kind Of Takes You Away From Real Inspiration And, You Know, Real Artistic Discovery Of The Individual.
