 But remember, guitar players are a dime a dozen. |
| I'm really into Sweet 75 right now, and I dig playing Nirvana, don't get me wrong. Even if Kurt never died, more than likely I'd be in Sweet 75 today still. |
| I think pot should be legalized, but I think the promotion of party culture is irresponsible. |
| I'm just really happy, because I think we're a great band, and I really like great bands. |
| Just the other day I pulled out this old cassette of Ragged Glory and I popped it into my cassette player and I was digging it. They were just a great rock and roll band, one that presents the song ahead of everything else - there's no grand idea or concept behind it. |
| And Seattle isn't really crazy anymore. It's a big dot-com city. |
| We remember Kurt for what he was: caring, generous and sweet. |
| No band is special, no player royalty. |
| Mike Watt and I had the same teacher. Mr. Tanaka. |

| But this is pretty new for me, both songwriting and singing. |
| Our idea is simply to play the songs and to emphasize our musicianship. |
| I kind of discovered my voice for the first time, and the more I did it, the better it got. |
| But my role is to just apply the skills I've learned over the years: you listen to the guitar, you listen to the vocal melodies, you listen to the rhythm, and you come up with something that helps you take the song somewhere. |
| Theodore Roethke was a poet I was raised with so he has a lot of sentimental value for me. |
| We asserted ourselves as a music community, and showed legislators that music is positive. Especially if you've sold 300 million records worldwide and pay taxes. |
| Don't follow a trend. Follow your heart. |
