I suspect by the time the Beatles were writing the White Album, they didn't go, 'I Wanna Hold Your Hand!' I wanna play that! It's like if somebody asked you to put on the clothes you wore in high school. Well, no. No!
John Darnielle
It's hard to stay positive when there's a lot of evil in the world.
John Darnielle
Back in the 90s, if you did mail order in music, you could make a good living doing it if you could hustle.
John Darnielle
From a very young age, I was the kind of kid you can just put anywhere and I'd still find stuff to be stoked about.
John Darnielle
