You have to follow every melodic line, every emotional idea, or you don't get your money's worth.

Popular music sucks so bad right now.

I've always chosen my band members based on their sense of humor. It might sound stupid, but it means not only are they fun to live with on a tour bus for years, but humor implies intelligence.

I don't mind what the market is, but why is it vapid? If they're such a bunch of idiots, why don't you show them good music instead? They're not going to know the difference.

No drug is a cure, though. Drugs are just big pieces of tape they stick over warning lights.

I guess I'll just slip into the studio after the next time with the Muses, and then just keel over and die.

Nirvana was pop. You can have distorted guitars and people say it's alternative, but you can't break out of pop music's constructs and still get extensive radio play and media coverage.
