If I Go Without Rock For Too

No Matter What I Do, My Songs Come Out In A Certain Style, And If That Sounds Like Dead Kennedys, Then There's Probably A Reason For It. Don't Forget, I Wrote Most Of Those Songs, Music And Lyrics.

As A Human Being With Notoriety And A Big Mouth, I've Felt Most Threatened During The First Bush Administration. Whenever There's A Bush In The White House, Many People Die, And The Rest Of Us Are Threatened. I Just Didn't Think It Would Happen Quite So Quickly. The So-called Usa Patriot Act, And The Announcement Of Trying People In Military Tribunals If Bush Or Rumsfeld's Or Ashcroft's People Think They Somehow Qualify As Terrorists, Basically, This Is Mccarthyism Run Amok.

Another Part Of What Gave Me A Questioning, Rabble-rousing, Activist Heart And Soul Is That When All These Heavy Events Went Down, My Parents Did Not Shelter The Kids From It.

I Would Hate To Have "holiday In Cambodia" Become As Tiresome To Other People As Hearing "like A Rock" In A Chevrolet Commercial.

To This Day, We Get Letters At Alternative Tentacles From Young Teenagers Who Hide Their Dead Kennedys Albums Behind Their Mirror Or In The Mattress Of Their Bed. Wouldn't It Be Better If The Parents Just Discussed This With The Kids Instead Of Creating This Culture Of Sneaking And Dishonesty Within The Family? The Moral Of The Story Being, You Don't Hide Reality From Your Kids Because Then They Grow Up To Be Smarter, More Aware Adults.
