I don't care much for Hillary Clinton.

Obama was never that bad or that great, and the same is probably going to go for Trump.

No one wants a lecture when you're getting a latte. So if you get one without asking, isn't that grounds for some discipline?

The bands I like are not obscure at all. Far from it.

Youthful impatience obscures the endless potential for joy that's standing right in front of you.

I always thought Jon Stewart was an extremely good surgeon with his scalpel. He would have Republicans on who, I guess, were unclear about what Stewart was up to, and while Jon Stewart was being nice, he was building a case for drowning them.

I've interviewed everyone from Joe Strummer to Iggy Pop.

The people who whine about Fox News are hypocrites - they say they're totally tolerant, but when they run into someone who doesn't share their assumptions, they say, 'Fox News is evil, and it must be stopped.'

Trump represented a movement of dissatisfaction, the dissent, unhappiness, division cultivated by years of identity politics and the bullying of arrogant, insufferable, intolerant social justice warriors who used the last two terms to punish anyone who reminded them of Daddy.

I don't think Trevor Noah got his job by being a conservative.

Now that President Trump is a reality, I happily have been giving him a chance to see how he does.

Wherever socialism spread, misery followed - and still follows.

It's pointless to get all huffy about stuff.

It takes a special, selfless person to make music that accommodates the universal need for mindless escapism - or what I call oblivion.

The explosion of jihad and its desire to export its contagious madness to all areas of the world have changed the way we view immigration.

Human evolution relies on cooperation, which is why identity politics feels so backward.

My first concert - maybe it was 1979 - was a blur. I'm not sure whether it was Blue Oyster Cult/Cheap Trick/Pat Travers at San Jose Civic Auditorium or The Police/The Knack/Robert Johnson at Berkeley's Zellerbach Auditorium.

For trance music to be good, it has to sneak up on you.

I hate 'Rolling Stone' - because I loved it so much. I had the 'Cheap Tricks' cover and the Clash cover on my wall for years, and I just hate what happened to it. It just became the smarmy grad student that sits next to you on the bus.

Nothing is ever as bad as it seems. Nor does it ever last as long as you think.

When we shrug and say we don't care, it's usually a lie. Every girl cares. We've just been taught not to expose ourselves by showing it. What the world needs now is girls and women who aren't afraid to care - who are done saying, 'Whatever.'

I don't want to take anything to the grave. I want to die used up and emptied out. I don't want to carry around anything I don't have to. I want to travel light.

Nothing separates a woman or a family from God's love. Not death, and certainly not divorce.

If you're not okay, you might as well not pretend you are, especially since life has a way of holding us down until we utter that magic word: help! That's when angels rush to your side.
