“I think I've always been extremely conscious of the kind of empowerment that comes from realizing that you're in a position to express yourself. And the fact is that - and this is the thing about punk rock - that everyone is in a position to create culture, and that point has never been lost on me. To me, that's an important political aspect of doing this, and trying to live in a way that's about dialogue as opposed to like... spectacle.” ThinkingWayTryingKindImportantFactsPoliticalCultureLostRealizingRocksPositionConsciousAspectEmpowermentDialoguePunkExpress YourselfPunk Rock Author:J.

“I started playing guitar when I was in eighth grade, and that led to trying to write songs and trying to figure out how to play in bands. That led to meeting people, and getting into the local punk rock scene, and going to shows. So that was how I really got into the culture of it.” PeopleWritingTryingPlayShowsSongCultureRocksFiguresSceneBandMeetingsGuitarLocalsGradesPunkPunk RockPlaying GuitarEighth Grade Author:Chris McCaughan
