I have my own language and it's high time I put a little of it out there.
A rock'n'roll band needs to be able to get under people's skin. You should be able to clear the room at the drop of a hat.
The best I can say is that it's better for me to write about despair and darkness than to be incapable of getting off the sofa. It's better to write about suicide than to contemplate it too heavily.
I didn't wake up one morning and not be in the Replacements. We're all that forever, and I've just grown older. I mean, I haven't lost anything. I've gained a few things.
I'm beyond caring what anyone expects of me anymore.
