I Listen To Boy Band Music Before

Nothing's Going To Keep Me From Making Music. If I Were In The Want-ads In The Back Of The Paper Or Playing To Six People At A Coffee Shop, I'd Still Love To Make Music.

Once I Got Into Punk Rock, I Started Mail-ordering Albums, Because A Lot Of The Record Stores In My Area Didn't Carry The Punk Bands From England Or Sweden Or Chicago Or Los Angeles

When I Was A Teenager, Working Towards Dropping Out Of High School To Starting To Tour With Bands, I'd Drive Around In My Vw Bug Every Morning Before School, Very Stoned Listening Over And Over To Zeppelin. This Song Got To Me Because It Just Seemed Mystical. There Is Something About Those Celtic Tunings That Almost Sounds Eastern. Somehow It Would Sweep Me Up Into My Own Little Trance-like State, Like Sting With Those Shamans In The Amazon. But All I Had Was A Bong And A Led Zeppelin Cassette.

Every Band Should Study Queen At Live Aid. If You Really Feel Like That Barrier Is Gone, You Become Freddie Mercury. I Consider Him The Greatest Frontman Of All Time. Like, It's Funny? You'd Imagine That Freddie Was More Than Human, But... You Know How He Controlled Wembley Stadium At Live Aid In 1985? He Stood Up There And Did His Vocal Warm Ups With The Audience. Something That Intimate, Where They Realize, 'oh Yeah, He's Just A F***ing Dude.'

From One Generation To The Next, The Beatles Will Remain The Most Important Rock Band Of All Time.
