I love punk rock, but I also love metal.

The first Decline I did was out of sheer love and appreciation for the music. In 1977, it was more about bands, because punk was a new form of music. It was groundbreaking and political.

I got IRS records to finance what I wanted to do.

What I found interesting is that it's human nature to have a family.

Before you approach a production entity or even a potential producer, you should write up a treatment and register your show with the Writers Guild of America.

I actually picked up copies of Decline I and II at a flea market once. I walked out without paying.

Many people have been able to get pitch meetings by just cold calling, especially the smaller networks and especially with the reality shows.
