This is my home. Home is where the disease is. As long as I stay in America, I'll never run out of subjects for songs.

If I get even five per cent of my ideas out and documented before I die, I'll be lucky. I'm not in danger of running out of riffs or ideas anytime soon. They overwhelm me and it's hard to find time to deal with them.

I got involved because I wanted to help inspire more people to get off their butts and register and vote - not just in this election, but in every other election from now on, you know?

The last true punk band to get a major label contract was The Dickies.

Then as I got older, I always gravitated towards the hard stuff, Born To Be Wild, then Black Sabbath
