One of the first bands to break out of Seattle was Heart.

Music is the career Im lucky enough to get paid for, but I have other desires and passions.

A lot of power-pop comes out of LA, a lot of speed metal comes out of New York.

There were a lot of drugs. We kinda just passed the time that way. For a couple of years we were all doin' anything we could get our hands on.

I'm not doing well. Don't try to talk about this to my sister Liz. She will know it sooner or later.

I'm not using drugs to get high like many people think. I know I made a big mistake when I started using this sh-. It's a very difficult thing to explain. My liver is not functioning and I'm throwing up all the time and shitting my pants. The pain is more than you can handle. It's the worst pain in the world. Dope sick hurts the entire body.

The songs are about things that we were thinking and we wrote 'em down, and when you listen to 'em, whatever you think it's about... THAT'S what it's about!
