I Stand Behind All The

There Are Certainly Good Examples Of Incredibly Brilliant, Beautiful Music That Has Been Made Commercially Available And Sold Everywhere. But I Would Say That, For The Most Part, Quantity Certainly Does Not Speak Well For Quality.

I'm All For File Sharing. That's Great - As Long As People Are Prepared For The Significant Consequences. One Is That Music Will Become Completely Couched In Advertising. That's Already Happened. And Another Is That People Should Be Prepared To Have Fun With The Past Because The Only Music That Can Possibly Be Free Is The Music That's From The Past. It Costs Money To Make Music. And If People Are Prepared To Only Have The Past To Listen To, Then Let It Be Free.

I Jump From One Thing To The Next But Try And Strike A Balance. But It's Not Nostalgic In The Sense Of 'those Were The Good Old Days And Now We're Not There'. I Don't Think Like That. Not My Way.

People Ask Me: ‘what Is Punk? How Do You Define Punk?' Here's How I Define Punk: It's A Free Space. It Could Be Called Jazz. It Could Be Called Hip-hop. It Could Be Called Blues, Or Rock, Or Beat. It Could Be Called Techno. It's Just A New Idea. For Me, It Was Punk Rock. That Was My Entrance To This Idea Of The New Ideas Being Able To Be Presented In An Environment That Wasn't Being Dictated By A Profit Motive.

I Don't Think It's An Ethical Or Moral Issue, Or Even That People Are Stupid, But I Do Feel Like As A Culture Things Are Out Of Balance, Perverted, And Inverted. Things That Are Ridiculous Are Worshipped, And Things That Are Important Are Ridiculed. I Think That's Something Worth Thinking About.
