To me, John Lennon and Elvis Presley were punks, because they made music that evoked those emotions in people.

When I was a kid growing up in the '60s, music was an outlet for enlightenment, frustration, rebellion. It was more about individualism. Today it's just like a big business.

I mean, like, rock n' roll was always about spirit and fun.

What they teach you in school doesn't prepare you for life. Textbooks don't compare to living in the real world. Rock and roll teaches you how to live.

I enjoyed my life when I had nothing... and kinda like the idea of just being happy with me.

All punk is is attitude. That's what makes it. The attitude.

Lack of skill dictates economy of style.
