The day of parts of the country hating each other, or rivalries like that... I feel like that's dead.
Fred ArmisenSome rules are good. For example, off the top of my head, let's say a stand-up comedian or a talk show host wearing a nice suit - as a ponderer, I grew up like, "Why don't they just go up there in their army jacket? They're fine!" Then little by little, you think, "You know, it's kind of nice to look nice, like you made the effort." Then you're back at rule one; that was the original rule.
Fred ArmisenI'm obsessed with my 20s. I buy things that I wanted in my 20s. It's weird; it's a weird thing that I didn't grow out of.
Fred Armisen"Macarena" is a great song. If music is something you can remember - the worst crime music can do is to be forgettable.
Fred ArmisenJust a lot of those bands [like The Blue Jean Committee] started off in blues, and then they all transformed into other kinds.
Fred ArmisenIf there is a blues song, it just goes in one ear and out the other. But other than that, if it stays with you and when we are all 90, we're going to look back at those songs, and it's going to be emotional. And when someone plays it, and you know it, and you're going to go, "I know that song and I love it."
