Dustin Kensrue Quotes
It feels like there was a really, in some ways, kind of fashiony, contrived feeling that surrounds that scene.

There were very few bands that were labeled that way that we really respected musically or were good friends with.

Even now, at 82 years old, if I don't learn something every day, you know what I think? It's a day lost. Now, I don't practice every day. I just take the guitar, swear at it.

My music is mostly for the music. And it gives the liberty to do anything which I want. And nobody limits me to one genre of music. But I learn from life and I try to give back to life, in a way, whether it's the thought of the song or whether it's the approach to the arrangement or anything.
