What business do we have still playing punk? We used to think punk was an expression of youth, but what happens when the years go by and the ethos still makes sense to you? Youth is wasted on the young-- a paradoxical term but it’s true because youth, like time, is an abstract concept. You can chant ‘forever young’ but you are still going to age whether you like it or not. Some people think that a glorious suicide is the way around this, but to me it just seems counter-productive. Live while you’re still alive. And stay that way as long as you can because mathematically (and theoretically) the longer you’re around, the more life you can live. And that, my friend, is what Ponce de Leon would have paid a queen’s ransom for.
