“I was getting bored of all the [music press'] gabber-gabber about the new rock,” he told XLR8R, in a 2005 interview with Pitchfork contributor Mark Pytlik. “I’m a huge rock fan, but wearing an MC5 shirt is not being in the MC5. For me, rock is not an outfit or a pose. I just thought, ‘If I’m gonna complain about rock, I should make some.’”
It is such a huge inspiration to me that somebody thinks like this: “Huh. That sucks. I have to see if I can do it better myself.”
Everything else is just being lazy.
