“We just wanna be the happy bums that we are. That's all.”
Mike Patton

“Tech? Bring it on! The more, the better. I have no “ol’ school” pretensions à la analogue vs. digital. If anything, the advances have helped me in terms of the ability to record myself at home in my basement without a producer or studio expenses. Creativity is another discussion: something you have or don’t. Technology can be a tool, or a crutch, or a graveyard…it all depends on you!”
Mike Patton

“Speaking of aging… well, that’s tricky. At times, it is comforting and gives me a certain resolution. Like “this is who you are: swallow it!” Other times, I feel slightly disjointed and like a grandpa falling down the stairs. Both are welcome and I accept them lovingly. But it’s day to day.”
