I went to UC Berkeley for college, and it was during the period when the whole punk movement was happening.
There are several books out on punk history, but I haven't read any of them. I was there.
Punk will never be dead to me. It's my life. I can never just drop this lifestyle. It embodies me.
I was originally like a punker, know what I mean, like the punks are today, I'd spit in a minute.
When I was a kid, I was obsessed with heavy metal, Van Halen, Motley Crue. The older I got, my tastes widened. I always felt an attraction to the attitudes of punk; also punk filmmakers, like Richard Kern.
I love punks!
Punk inspired me.
I don't think punk fashion is a specter or overemphasized - it made a big impression, as there had never been anything like it before.
