Personally I have my own political views and being straight-edge I'm happy to talk about that, but the music that always meant the most to me, was more emotional.

I can't think of anything that people probably wouldn't already have heard of.

But when I cut off my hair I even had friends not recognize me.

I heard recently that I used to date Patrick Swayze.

As you get older you will gain a bit more control over everything. Don't let anyone, even your parents, break you. Find good people who care about you and surround yourself with just them. If you can't find them at first, find good music and fall into it, let it hold you until they come. I truly hope you enjoy the new record.

I was the freak who moved into the nice neighborhood.

There are only a few places that I go where people recognize me anyway. I have to be at the right place, in the right city. It's not really that much of an issue.
