That we were like, you know, music to us represented everything.

Everything anti-vote for me.

And it was tough.

It was maybe tougher for me because I was more boots on the ground in the scene and with people.

And now it's like, especially in the 80s in Atlanta, it was like...

you know, fuck major... Anyone who signs with a major label, man, fuck them.

You know what I mean?

And I'm like, yeah, you know, like, power to the people or whatever, you know?

And then it's like, you're on MTV 30 times a day and, you know, in between fucking Toyota commercials and Snapple or whatever.

You know what I mean?

Like, so...

And it's weird because our politics are so in line with so many of the alternative politics of music that would lay the grunge or whatever.

So I'm the same age as all of the grunge bands.

But I don't exist in the 90s in the same way.

We weren't, you know what I mean?

Because we were doing something.

But it is funny.

People say, well, no fucking label is signing Kurt Cobain today.

As a matter of fact, Kurt and our generation of people, we were talking about compliance and defiance.

You're making a mistake.
