Wipers Quotes

There isn�t any pioneering any more. It�s almost not even accepted to be pioneering; for some reason that seems to be the attitude now. I�d say �93 to �95 was kind of the curvature towards things slowly reversing. It�s to the point where music is just definitely a rehash of the past, and I guess, maybe people don�t sense that there�s a future ahead of them, so subconsciously they look backward.

No, I was already doing the Wipers for about a year. There was no avenue for it; one day I heard about this show on the car stereo, I�d never heard of Ramones, never heard of Elvis Costello, but when I heard, "Ramones," it just sounded like such a, just the name itself, it just sounded cool. But yeah, that was kind of a pinnacle, because then I thought, "Wow! We�re doing stuff like that," I didn�t think anybody was. I never listened to music, I mean, I never listened to other peoples� music, I just never did, because I�d be too busy writing, and I didn�t want to be influenced by anyone. I was never in the loop or in any scene at all. I just remember, hearing the name, "Ramones," and that just sounded so unique to me.
