I support Billie in vocalizing his passion for his music; and his right to defend it when it (it being the very essence of your fucking musical being) comes under attack by a bunch of coporate major label 3 piece suit wearing morons who haven't a clue about punk rock, or what punk rock truly stands for or even is...even by it's most simple definition.. - freedeom, musical freedom...the right to play as sloppy as you want...as long as it's good and it has passion... more love, more power... I hereby pledge to defend to the death the right to rock, and will thusly support any fellow musician like Billie with the same attitude, musical direction and outlook on life...to the Corporate Radio Queers @ I Fart Radio...the question has been answered...Why did I cut off my radio after the end of the 90's?...Because crowds @ shows/gigs nowadays don't "get" the message, the lyrics, or the freedom of expression & interpretation of punk...no, save time instead to "plug" Justa Beaver t-shirts/coffee mugs/scented candles/lunchboxes/bathtowels & toiletpaper. They give out record contracts to teenage reality show celebrities now for fuck sake! Damnit! I've played shitty nightclubs & dives for years just to make gas & beer money, eating cold chef boyardee every day...Saw ya twice in Charlotte, NC..first time years ago @ Pop Disaster w/Blink when Mike set his P-bass on fire, then for the American Idiot tour... you have my love and respect brother...they didn't understand our old friend Kurt either, and he loved smashing guitars....- I would totally buy that broken TV yellow Gibson LP Jr. double cutway, missing soapbar P90 pickup and all...hahaha...just to keep it off ebay and out of some fucks "wannabe museum"... keep covering up those Marshall logos, rock the fuck on, and even though it is a social musical nightmare now, though it's a free for all, StiLL fuck 'em all... I'd rather be the minority any day dude...right on....
