mortgage stuff
You can't sing about the same things as you did when you were 20; it would be ridiculous to sing about, I don't know, being in the quad. You can't really write about mortgage payments or stuff like that... but you can talk about 'let's make the world a better place.'
coolest decides fans gain guy hear lose people reach songs trying
Who decides what is and what isn't punk? I want to write songs that people hear and feel, and I want to be successful and reach a big audience. I'm not trying to be the coolest guy in the world; I'm trying to write songs that mean something to people. As you get successful, sometimes you lose one set of fans and gain another.

You hear about bands who say, "We did one show where only 20 people showed up", well that was our average gig for five years.
mean thinking rocks
Punk rock is very rebellious, of course, but it also means thinking for yourself.
