There's nothing better than having a bottle of beer in your hand in the waves.

Mom, thanks for letting me drop out of high school. Haha!

I believe the history of American music is just as important as anything political because it's changed generations of people.

I think the producers or whoever's doing the show are tripping so hard. They must be on acid. They live in this, like, weird grass mound and there's this 'sun' in the sky with this little baby's face that's just, like, bleaaargh-aarghagh. It's just so totally insane. It's such an acid thing, man. For kids!

Because you have things like 'American Idol' and you've got radio stations that play music made entirely by computers, it's easy to forget there are bands with actual people playing actual instruments that rock.

Ladies and gentlemen, god bless America - land of the free, home of the brave.

When I listen to the radio, I just hear so much music that doesn't even sound like people. The vocals are all tuned, and the drums are all fake.
