I Used To Be A

I Get Really Affected By Songs As A Music Listener - They Mean So Much And They Feel So Significant.

It's Very Hard To Tour.

Initially, I Was Very Much Concerned With Having Absolute Control. But As Time Has Gone By, I'm Not. I Mean, The Whole First Record Was Really Just How I Spent My Free Time: Stoned And Drinking Coffee In My House, Spending Three Hours On A Song.

It's Very Expensive To Bring A Band To New York.

The Main Issue Was Deciding What To Play: Should It Be Old Ramones Material Or New Material? I Had About Three Albums Worth Of New Material, But I Knew That People Would Rather Hear The Ramones Songs.
