I've had this terrible stomach problem for years, and that has made touring difficult. People would see me sitting in the corner by myself looking sick and gloomy. The reason is that I was trying to fight against the stomach pain, trying to hold my food down. People looked me and assumed I was some kind of addict.
There's definitely some pieces in there that reflect on my personal life, but really, they aren't as personal as everybody thinks they are. I would like them to be more personal. The emotions, the songs themselves are personal. I can't do it - I've tried to write personally and it just doesn't seem to work. It would be too obvious. Some things that you could read in could fit into anyone's life that had any amount of pain at all. It's pretty cliche'.
My body is damaged from music in two ways. I have a red irritation in my stomach. It's psychosomatic, caused by all the anger and the screaming. I have scoliosis, where the curvature of your spine is bent, and the weight of my guitar has made it worse. I'm always in pain, and that adds to the anger in our music.
Punk is musical freedom. It's saying, doing and playing what you want. In Webster's terms, 'nirvana' means freedom from pain, suffering and the external world, and that's pretty close to my definition of Punk Rock.
Things have never been so swell, i have never failed to fail
There will be sentencing and some further consequences at that time. I think you either need a long-term drug program or a long term in county jail.
I've always had a problem with the average macho man- they've always been a threat to me.
dont read my diary when im gone, ok im going to work now , when you wake up please read my diary, look through my things and figure me out
Don't expect me to cry for all the reasons you had to die.
My mother died every night...it's safe to say, don't quote me on that.
I wish I was like you, easily amused.
You know what i hate about rock? I hate tie-dyed tee shirts.
But when I did it, the thread unraveled. So I ended up jabbing in the needle and pouring ink all over my arm.
Nobody deserves to have their personal life pried into like I did and no one deserves to hear me whine about it so much.
