"Nothing automatically happens.  It's like people's journeys, like those kids at the Hole concert.  I don't know for sure, but maybe they're suburban kids- maybe they lied to their mothers, maybe they took a bus from Jersey to go to this Hole concert and wrote this shit all over themselves.  You know this kid was living in the Tenderloin district in some apartment with his alcoholic father.  He's getting up all over San Francisco, and people know who that kid is.  He doesn't go to school, he has no money for college.  That effort- that energy- is fascinating.  I've known some of these guys in New York and San Francisco since they were teenagers, and now I know them as thirty-year olds, and I've seen what they did to get somewhere, to find a way to make a name, make a living..."
