I Think Age Is Just

I Think That Breaking Into The Mainstream - It Was Just The Right Cycle Of Music For Us In Blink-182. People Were Kind Of Over The Boy-band, Pop-princess, Manufactured Sensibility, And Were Excited For Guitars And Angst And Energy And Enthusiasm, Which Is Our Thing.

Mom's Dad Was In The Army, Stormed The Beach At Normandy, Fought Through The French Hedgerows, The Battle Of The Ardennes, The Battle Of The Bulge, And Liberated Concentration Camps At The End Of The War.

I'm Always Asking Friends What New Music They're Into, And I Love Showing People New Talented Artists.

'built This Pool' Was An Idea That I Had For A Song Starting Several Years Ago, And As We Were In Between Takes Of Recording Something, I Was Actually Holding A Guitar At The Time, And I Played This Silly Thing, And Sang The Lyrics To 'built This Pool' Kinda In The Background.

I Think People Take Blink-128 More Seriously Now Than They Did Before. And It's Largely Our Fault Because We Called Our Records Enema Of The State And Take Off Your Pants And Jacket. We Were Always Kind Of The Underdogs, Especially Critically. People Wrote Us Off As This Joke Band. But The People Who Listened To Blink Knew That We Were Silly And Whatever, But We Wrote Songs About Divorce And Suicide And Depression. Those Kids That Were Listening To Blink Are Now The Ones That Control All These Outlets That Used To Just Write Us Off.
