Ramones music has a Pavlovian effect on me - the song starts, and the world blurs around the sound.

There is no heaven for me and no hell. And certainly not any Karma.

Whether I will be remembered at all, I really don't get to choose, unless I shoot someone famous. It's not really anything I have much control over.

Music, to me, is mankind's greatest possible achievement because look at all the good it does.

I just work, to the exclusion of most other things. I rarely work in a frenzied manner, just kind of - if you take the beater that whips the icing or the eggs into shape - on the upper end of medium speed, that's kind of how I am about seven days a week.
