Change is hard, but change is good.
Chris Christie is New Jersey’s concern, not America’s.
Contemporary bands often will do tour-only releases pressed and sold only in Australia. Crikey!
Could it be that violence is as much a part of the American identity as the Constitution, and a vital component to its economic stability?
I lack the skill to hold a story line for the length required for a novel or even a short story. I have never had an idea that could withstand a hundred thousand words, or even ten thousand words of rubber meeting the road.
Fish is the only kind of respirating thing that I consume. Everything else I don’t want any part of.
Nothing moves me more than the history of the United States.
I’d like to rid myself of writing, to surrender, to release the venom. And hopefully at some point, I’ll be a happy, well-adjusted guy and I’ll have no need for all that ‘art.’
We Californians can watch the Weather Channel for images of winter’s brutality unleashed upon our fellow Americans and thank our lucky stars we don’t have to contend with it.
I really like older writers, perhaps because they take me out of my element. I don’t have a great deal of interest in reading a fictionalized present as it’s pretty insane as it is.

America is a country born from semi-mythologized blood, glory and acts of selfless patriotic sacrifice.
I’m not a singer. If you’ve heard any of my records, that’s not singing. I have no vocal qualities whatsoever. I’ve got a lot of enthusisam and I go to the cross, but there’s no skill going on there. It’s more just intuitiveness.
The idea that any performer type is owed anything is a joke to me.
I love being a storyteller. I love telling stories.
I don’t cuss in songs. It’s too easy.
I don’t hate the government. I don’t think the Second Amendment is being infringed upon.
I don’t really write for fun; it’s not an enjoyable experience. For me, art, or whatever the hell it is I do, has always been a refuge from that which makes me want to tear my lungs out. That’s why I play like I play; I’m not into entertainment.
This is my own little rock theory: In my mind, Nirvana slayed the hair bands. They shot the top off the poodles.
