Cardiff Stadium was a warm up for the 3 Hyde Park shows. James Brown opened. And I think it may be the only time we played Mini Epic live.

The Meatbats are a throwback band.

For live you need a microphone for the snare and the high hat, the kick drum, a nice stereo overhead and one for the toms - you can get away with using four mikes.

Music doesn't solve your problems..but allows you to dance all over them

I just try to approach and serve the music in the way that I think is right for the band I'm in at the time.

I just love to play and I get a chance to play with other musicians and I jump on it.

We always feel pretty creative as far as writing songs. We write them together; we just get in a room, or on occasion in Flea's garage. We just sort of improvise, like jazz musicians.

Jazz can be so serious, no sense of humor.

I'm a little more of a lead instrument in the Meatbats.

I feel like in order to challenge yourself you have to get out of and do things that feel wrong at first and find new things. It's important to look for those things.

I want a blaze of light to flame in me forever in a timeless, dear love of everything. And why should I pretend to want anything else?

Punishment is the last and the least effective instrument in the hands of the legislator for the prevention of crime.

Pray for guidance and give thanks for your blessings everyday.

In contests of strategy it is bad to be led about by the enemy. You must always be able to lead the enemy about.

It is ironic that anyone who appeals to religious values today runs the risk of being called 'divisive' or attacked as an enemy of pluralism.
