I'm totally down with insurrection in the street. I've had a great time with that over the years. Insurrection in the voting booth is the other part of the equation.

The boyfriend of the student music teacher came in: Hey, kids, this is a real Air Force pilot. I asked him something to the effect of how it felt to be dropping bombs on children in Vietnamese villages. And it got very icy in there all of a sudden, and finally the teacher said, Oh, well, Eric reads a lot of newspapers. Next question.

I've been to enough other countries in the world to know what happens when you have socialized single-payer health care. It works. People don't get sick as much. They don't lose their life savings with a catastrophic illness like cancer or AIDS.

Well, I don't think I'll ever stop being frustrated or feel fulfilled artistically.

Growing up in a family that listened to almost nothing but classical music had its effects, as well. California Über Alles, the first Dead Kennedys single, was inspired musically more by Japanese Kabuki than anything else.

I would hate to have Holiday in Cambodia become as tiresome to other people as hearing Like a Rock in a Chevrolet commercial.

I went to Seattle as just another geek in the food chain, thinking, Well, in my own puny little way, I'd rather be a part of history than just sit and watch it on TV. So, the fact that so many people are starting to ask the right questions and rack their brains for solutions does give me hope.

In many ways, I have no idea what would have become of me if punk hadn't happened, because the '70s turned out to be so stale, and so boring, and so backward compared to what had come just before. We were too young to have fully experienced the '60s and the fervor of the anti-war movement.

Method acting has had a major influence both in writing through the eyes of other people, and seeing through the eyes of other people, trying to address different ideas in a way that would go beyond preaching to the choir.

It's very irresponsible as a parent to follow Tipper Gore or the Religious Right's advice and just take the offending CD or game away from the kid without discussing it.

I was born in the late '50s, was a child of the '60s, then the '70s, then the '80s, then the '90s, and I have mental fingers in all those pies.

I don't think it's too hippie to want to clean up the planet so you don't wind up dying of some kind of cancer when you're 45 years old. It enrages me that these big cancer-research organizations can't be bothered to man the front lines of environmental protest.

I went through a big Alice Cooper phase, which was probably a major influence on my writing style later, especially after Plastic Surgery Disasters.

What they're not doing is marketing the Dead Kennedys in the spirit of what the band stood for.
