I feel like there's the people's music, and there's corporate music.

I play popular songs. This is not some obscure, unusual music. This is popular music.

No race or civilization of people are just going to say, "Oh, instead of using real meat, let's just mash up a bunch of lymph nodes and put a bunch of weird stuff in it and pack it up in plastic cans and plastic bins, and let's eat that way. That'll be great." People don't choose that.

I didn't have any intention of playing music for a living or anything like that. I was just not doing well in my head or whatever you call it and drinking too much.

For a while, it was something to try to push at people, playing old murder ballads and being upset about everything I was seeing around me. But now I feel a lot more at peace with it.

Because I have something to say doesn't mean everyone has to take it too seriously or get too upset that it rubs them the wrong way.

I've been playing one way or another since I was about three years old. I don't remember not knowing how to play any instruments.
