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.

I saw Suicide in '74 and it was pretty horrifying.

From '69 til '76, I never played in public. I would play by myself at home.

I never really followed grunge.

Meanwhile after failing the bar twice, I knew some people in New York and moved here in August '71.

My playing started to develop through the Miles Davis stuff I was listening to.

Reading music is something that's inherently hateful to me. It makes music like mathematics.
