I was 12 in '55 when rock and roll hit. It just completely transformed me.
Even by the time I was four or five, I had Gene Autry records.
Reading music is something that's inherently hateful to me. It makes music like mathematics.
After I exhausted the blues thing, I got into jazz.
I saw Suicide in '74 and it was pretty horrifying.
I think Blank Generation holds up pretty well. You listen to that with headphones and there's a lot going on there with the guitars- it's the product of a lot of fighting.
