I Would Hate To Have "holiday In

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.

I'm Appalled At How Many People My Age, Or Even Five Or Ten Years Younger, Have No Tangible Memories Of Important History That Happened When We Were Growing Up.

Looking Back, I Didn't Realize Until Years Later What A Huge Influence Red Skelton Was In My Stage Demeanor With The Band. I Mean, I Always Liked Things That Were Funny, And Later I Realized That Having A Sly Sense Of Humor Was A Way To Get Attention And Even Respect In School.

I Went Through A Big Alice Cooper Phase, Which Was Probably A Major Influence On My Writing Style Later, Especially After Plastic Surgery Disasters.

Well, I Don't Think I'll Ever Stop Being Frustrated Or Feel Fulfilled Artistically.
