I don't like the current political system in the USA and some other countries. Increasingly democracy has been hijacked by corporate interests.

Link Wray... He was the beginning of Grunge, way before anybody you know.

I like to play with people who can play simple and are not threatened by other musicians thinking they can't play. And that eliminates 99 percent of the musicians.

I just do what I do. I like to make music

The money needed to run for office, the money spent on lobbying by special interests, the ever increasing economic disparity and the well-funded legislative decisions all favour corporate interests over the people's.

Commitments are one of the worst things to have in the music business. They're very annoying.

Keep it moving. Don't hoard. Money's no good, get rid of it. Turn it into people doing things. Turn it into jobs. Turn it into happiness...The more people I employ, the happier I am - that means my money's goin' into other people's lives, and if I can give 'em something to create that they can be happy with, that's great.
