There's a lot of different ways that a song would be a challenge to parody. There are a lot of songs that would ostensibly be a good candidate for parody, yet I can't think of a clever enough idea. Some songs are too repetitive for me to be able to fashion a humorous set of lyrics around. Some songs flat-out just don't work creatively for me.

I do a lot of different things, sometimes at the same time, and it's very difficult to figure out where I fit.

I like the guitar-driven music of Nirvana at its peak. At that point, I thought there was a lot of really exciting music coming out.

I try not to go the obvious route all the time, but sometimes the most obvious is actually the best.

I don't want to pooh-pooh modern pop. I appreciate that as well, but my personal favorite kind of music is guitar-based rock. I like grunge and garage bands and alternative music, but that's more my personal taste.

You fake something until you're good at it.

I was abducted by some aliens from space who kind a looked like Jamie Farr.

Some people want to advertise their weirdness, and spread it out, that's not me.
