Jello Biafra
I think one of the most important things punk brought back was the whole concept of staying independent and doing things yourself. It made music a lot less boring in any category you can name.
Jello Biafra
Well, I don't think I'll ever stop being frustrated or feel fulfilled artistically.
Jello Biafra
I went through a big Alice Cooper phase, which was probably a major influence on my writing style later, especially after Plastic Surgery Disasters.
Jello Biafra
If I go without rock for too long, I feel depressed.
