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.

The songs keep on writing themselves, and I really love them. It's as close as I get to a religion.

I don't like what the radio plays for the most part.

Good taste - that's all you really need when you're playing an instrument.

Men are allowed to write songs about people and women are allowed to write songs about women

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.

We need a day of the dead. That's a perfect celebration.
