Some people, they've had a lot of fun, even if it was dumb fun and a shitty body of work.

There's something in life that's cool, it's relatively cheap, and fun, and populist. Even when it's elitist.

It's sort of irritating now - people always ask me, "You're a dad, and how's fatherhood?" If Bob Dylan or Neil Young had a kid, it didn't seem like it made them a different person. It didn't make you old right away.

Things tends to often [consolidate] like Disney. It's the same with music. There's Bruce Springsteen and Neil Young and Patti Smith. There's these three people that everyone seems to agree on. No matter what they like, they seem to like those three.

I'm sort of socially inept, so music is my way to connect to people. It's a means of socializing and having a life. Otherwise I wouldn't bother. I would just make home recordings and play them for myself. And that's not really healthy.

The word "down," is very musical. It just always comes.

I think it's just entertainment for people that are interested in the form. To sing along to and be psyched by.
