A Hairstyle's Not A Lifestyle.

We've Never Had A Situation Where Mass Media Has Been So Censored, At Least In My Lifetime. When I Was Younger, Networks Like Nbc, Cbs, Were Independently Owned, And Took Their Jobs As Journalists Seriously. There Used To Be Documentaries Like "the Selling Of The Pentagon."

From The Beginning, There Was So Much Pressure In The Early San Francisco Punk Scene For Everyone To Be Different Than Everyone Else, To Flaunt Your Intelligence And Insights Instead Of Every Band Sounding Alike, Like What Plagues Punk Music In Particular Today.

What I'm Getting At Is, You Know, If We Really Want To Get Serious About Helping All The People Living In The Street And Getting People Jobs, We Could Just Hire Half The People In The Country To Spy On The Other Half.

I Didn't Really Start Writing Music Or Lyrics Or Turning Them Into Songs Until I Went To San Francisco.

My Parents Didn't Hide Reality. I Watched Cartoons And The News With Equal Fascination.
