In San Francisco, most of the older activists, especially at Berkeley, were very hostile towards punks. The music, certainly, wasn't nice and mellow for them, and neither was our look or our attitude.

My attitude is if somebody blunders into the level of popularity; at least remember the human factor.

I'm a complete libertarian. I think it's very, very dangerous. I really mean that. I think the smoking ban is a tip of an iceberg of society-the leaders of society telling us how to be.

Jeff Cooper

One correspondent, who is into psychology, notes that in his experience people who are hoplophobes are nearly always nutty in other ways, too.

Jeff Bridges

Kevin Bacon and I recently worked on a move together, R.I.P.D.
