I think Frankenchrist in closer to my heart than the Bedtime for Democracy album in terms of the musical syle, there's more songs kicking around in that vein. I listen to all kinds of things, the most extreme of the harcore stuff I still like. I like Head of David, Big Black, Scraping Fetus Off The Wheel, Evan Johns and the H-Bombs, all kinds of things. It would be fun to have one foot in the 1950s and one foot in the 1990s and see what happened. Straight politics is for people with no sense of humor.
People rely on artists for the truth far more than they rely on politicians.
Taking journalism into account as an art here. If I was ever to enter politics again it would be for the same reason I ran for mayor in San Francisco, namely an act of sabotage. I've always tried to use my life and my art as a prank as much as possible.
