I'm more interested in writing about the personal stories of people. Sometimes I don't agree with them.

It's hard being part of a married couple in a band.

Paste may be the last great American music magazine left.

I never want to be that guy spouting off my political views. I mean, they're pretty well known, and it certainly comes out.

I'm lucky enough that people tend to agree a lot with what I say. But really if anyone in the band has a really strong feeling, it carries a lot of weight.

I dislike Bush as much as probably anybody on earth could, but having said that... It's not like I'm going to change anybody's mind.

This time, we're living in such a crazy moment in history. People still write and talk about Watergate, which was such a huge, looming backdrop when I was coming of age and when I was a kid growing up. I think we're living in one of those times right now where, in 20 years, people will be writing and talking about it.
