Paul and I went to see the Dolls because they were the local New York success story. We thought, 'Wow, they really look like stars', then they started playing and we said, 'We'll kill them'. We wanted to be the Beatles on steroids. And he's not that respectful towards his peers, whom he says would be criminals if they hadn't joined a band. Let's call it for what it is.
Rock musicians are idiots.
It's the lowest form of life on the planet. However, because of rock'n'roll, those of us who have found our calling become, in a lot of ways, messengers of goodness. More good has been done in the name of rock'n'roll than religion, as far as I'm concerned. It makes people happy to be alive. Rock musicians aren't bright enough to know anything more than to make people happy, and for the time they're on stage, a lot of people are happy.
