Every Song I Ever Wrote, I Wrote To Be Heard. So, If I Was Given A Choice That 50 Years From Now I Could Either Have A Dollar Or Knowing That Some Kid Was Listening To My Song, I'd Go With The Kid Listening To My Song.

I Think That The Idea Of Straight Edge, The Song That I Wrote, And The Way People Have Related It It, There's Some People Who Have Abused It, They've Allowed Their Fundamentalism To Interfere With The Real Message, Which In My Mind, Was That People Should Be Allowed To Live Their Lives The Way They Want To.

I Put My Name On That Occupy Musicians List Because Someone Wrote To Me And Said, "would You Do This?" I Said, "yeah Sure, I Support This." What Artist Wouldn't Support That? What's The Big Deal? But Then People Wrote To Me, "wow! You're On That List!" And I'm Like, "who Isn't On That List?" That Would Be More Shocking.

Archiving Is Extremely Expensive And Time Consuming. I'm Sure An Archivist Would Tell Me I'm Doing It Wrong. It's An Industry That's Built Upon Essential Ideas, And Some Of Those Practices Are Abusive.
