What Does Bother Me Is

You Can Hear A Real Shift. You Listen To The Late 80s Recordings, You'll Hear Us Engaging With The Audience, Dealing With The Issues Surrounding Punk Shows At The Time. Back Then, People Thought You Had To Be A Skinhead And Beat The Crap Out Of Everybody When You Went To A Punk Show. Come The Early 90s, When You Had This So-called Grunge Stuff And When Videos Became So Dominant, You Had This Totally Huge Shift In The Culture Of Shows.

The Fact That The U.s. Government Spends Millions Of Dollars To Send Murderous Robot Planes Into Other People's Land To Murder Them, Into Other Countries, That's A Problem. That's What People Should Be Concerned About. The Fact That Other People Don't Understand Me Is Not A Problem. I Keep Things In Perspective.

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.

"straight Edge" Was A Song About My Life. There Was No Structure, No Premise As If I Was Forming A Club. There Were No Tenets. I Mean I Wrote A Song Called "straight Edge," I'll Take That, But The Song Was About My Life The Way I Wanted To Live It.

I Do Not Consider Myself A Teddybear. Just To Be Clear, I Don't Feel Sorry For Myself.
