Do you like Nine Inch Nails?
"...No...didn't have enough femininity to it... like the main things about music that have attracted me since I was a little kid... when I really started having life affirming and death-oriented feelings like when I was in Fourth grade and Darby Crash became my hero. The singer in the Germs... The two things that most made me feel like I actually had a place in the world were drugs and the feelings you get from them, and bisexuality... and that describes the feeling I get out of music... the music that they make now is either too wimpy or too macho, and there's no real skillful combinations, you know... Nobody knows how o be soft and hard at the same time..."

So you're a Bowie fan?
"He's my favorite."
Bowie seems to have summoned a lot of forces from within himself?
"I know the lyrics are just too intense... It's crazy that he was that insightful, that deeply aware. It just seems deeper than anything... The lyrics to some to that stuff... I just watched the Ziggy Stardust last concert this morning... It's amazing you should see it.... They really got heavy... I have this CD of one of their first shows when he was like Ziggy... and like, you can sense all this discomfort... and like he even says like this song is written by Ziggy Stardust like he's sort of making fun of it. And then when you see this movie you can see he's totally become that, and it's just too intense. Convince yourself that you're really looking at a person..."

"Jimmy Page’s playing in Led Zeppelin was the angelic rock guitar playing and he himself was the perfect rock guitar player. Jimmy Page was the first person that made me want to play guitar. Four years before I started I was taught the beginnig of Stairway To Heaven and stopped learning because my teacher could not show me the solo. Of course, I got around to it eventually…and not only Led Zep stuff,but I also studied his wonderful playing in The Yardbirds and all the sessions he did in the ’60s. The way his music developped leading up to Led Zep was beautiful. It seems like he had an endless flood of good ideas and then when he found the right people to play with the flood gates just poured open. I don’t believe that a rock band could carry around more power than they did. When i was seven years old in 1977 somebody had somehow spray painted on the freeway overpass for all to see, ‘Led Zep Rules’. It was up there for a long while and then taken away, but I believe it will be true forever."
