It's an art to live with pain... mix the light in into grey."--Love Boat Captain--
art thinking may
Though some may think there should be a separation between art/music and politics, it should be reinforced that art can be a form of nonviolent protest.
artist lists kind
You can go down the list of great artists and kind of understand that they are products of their environment. Whether it's U2 or Henry Rollins or myself or Johnny Lydon, they're gonna be products of their environment.

It's an art to live with pain... mix the light into gray.
song art attitude
I think music is the greatest art form that exists, and I think people listen to music for different reasons, and it serves different purposes. Some of it is background music, and some of it is things that might affect a person's day, if not their life, or change an attitude. The best songs are the ones that make you feel something.

Music's at its best when it has a purpose. In the days of 'Rock Around the Clock' and 'Good Golly, Miss Molly,' the purpose was, like, 'We should be allowed to do this.' We certainly haven't had to go out of our way to find a purpose now.

attempts best direct disguises loss positive pulling qualify quiet record shaped though took
It's like we took our aggressions and shaped something positive from them in a very direct manner. Though we'd qualify most of the record as hard-driving, the two quiet ones (Parachutes and Come Back) could be our best attempts yet at pulling the disguises off of loss of life, and even love.

It's been a difficult record and it's like sometimes the harder something is, then the more valuable it becomes,

It seems like we got the message across,
best easily hardest product stuff turn
It's easily the best stuff we've done but also some of the hardest stuff. It's very aggressive, because again, it's kind of a product of what it's like to be an American these days. It's pretty aggressive, especially when you turn it loud.
