I'm finding it hard to listen to other rock bands. It's been hard for me for a long time, but now I can't listen to any new bands at all.

Even that word depends on what you mean by pop. I mean, pop music has currency. It could just be about that girl who's in love with you.

It's frustrating that people attribute something to certain songs and that's not what they're about at all.

I have a real problem with rock music because it seems that lineage doesn't really exist.

When you grow up, you're told that rock 'n' roll is the only authentic way to express yourself. Live instrumentation, singer, live drums. You're told that's the best medium to communicate.

There's so much to be said for making your guitar sound like a synthesizer and try to make your drummer sound like a drum machine.

I want the words to be read in conjunction with the music.
