Even the bands I dig don't have a history of attaining mass consumption.

When I was 14 years old, I was a huge fan of the Velvets, the Stooges and the Modern Lovers. They are my three favourite bands. I never get sick of 'em.

I'd forgotten what it was like to play music and have it be fun so I decided to stop. I wasn't even sure if I was going to make a new record, I was just kinda quitting.

I guess I'm about ready to promote myself in a more human way. I don't feel quite so insecure.

I used to have a sort of spiky haircut and it just feels better to have short hair again.

See, to me, rock'n'roll doesn't have any point. It's just fun. It has a million different angles and they're all valid. But I think rock might be a world issue.
