For me, returning to Los Angeles annihilates the memories of where I have just been with an astonishing speed.

I was never told to "Get up, get out there, get a job." It was never a thing either parent ever said I had to do. It was what I wanted to do. I think I was very interested in being away from them as much as possible. Employment was great for that.

Watching a documentary with people hacking their way through some polar wasteland is merely a visual. Actually trying to deal with cold that can literally kill you is quite a different thing.

Will punk rock ever die? Pal, if you have to ask it's dead to you.

My love runs deeper than the wounds.

Not that the writers weren't good. I believe in those books and those writers very much. It's just that in the climate it's really hard to keep the lights on and the doors open when you're selling poetry and literature that appeals to a fringe audience.

I'm a big Germs fan; most people are.
