The Only Thing That Drives

Structures Can Be Manipulated For Ill As Well, Especially When People Are Dealing With Issues Of Power, Or Control, Or Violence.

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.

I Have Other Projects To Do. I Try Not To Let That Documentation Interfere With My Present Day.

I Think About Dischord. There's Been A Pretty Consistent Notion That Dischord Have Been Some Sort Of "overlords" Of The Scene. Some People Have Felt 'they Are Too Cool For Us,' Or 'they Won't Put This Out,' Etc. All We're Doing Is Our Own Work, Our Own Thing. That's All We've Ever Done. Our Work.

I Feel Quite Connected To The Past, And My Memory. Everything That I've Ever Done I Can Still Relate To, And Feel Connected To It In A Way. There's No Part Of My Life That I Look At And Go, 'i Don't Recognize That Person At All.
