I Like A Good Story

As I Define It, Rock And Roll Is Dead. The Attitude Isn't Dead, But The Music Is No Longer Vital. It Doesn't Have The Same Meaning. The Attitude, Though, Is Still Very Much Alive - And It Still Informs Other Kinds Of Music.

My Personal Feeling Is That Human Beings Have This Incredible Capacity For Denial.

Punk Was Defined By An Attitude Rather Than A Musical Style.

It Seemed [there Are] Musical Nodes On The Planet Where Cultures Meet And Mix, Sometimes As A Result Of Unfortunate Circumstances, Like Slavery Or Something Else, In Places Like New Orleans And Havana And Brazil. And Those Are Places Where The European Culture And Indigenous Culture And African Culture All Met And Lived Together, And Some New Kind Of Culture And Especially Music Came Out Of That.

I Think That If They Want People To Listen To Ten Or Twelve Songs, They Have To Give The Listener A Reason To Listen To Ten Or Twelve Songs Or To Buy Ten Or Twelve And Listen To The Whole Thing Instead Of Just Pulling One Or Two For Their Ipod Or Their Computer.
