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.

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

To do it nationally or internationally, you have to follow a few more rules.

If you're the band leader you ask more of yourself than anyone else, so they tend to raise the bar for me.

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

Now I know I'll never be numb again. A mother is condemned to feel everything forever. And I'm finally afraid, condemned to fear everything forever. But that makes sense: feel someone else's pain, feel someone else's everything.And he's my baby, so everything's okay.

That's my dream job, to be able to mail songs out to people who want to hear them. Paste my face on them and not travel all over the world trying to sell them.
