Reading music is something that's inherently hateful to me. It makes music like mathematics.
The Stones were nasty and ugly and doing songs I was familiar with.
I never really followed grunge.
Even by the time I was four or five, I had Gene Autry records.
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.
By then I was in Brooklyn and drank my way through that summer. I stopped when I got sick of that and got a job at the Strand bookstore, which was a little better than the tax job.
