“To me, rock n' roll is rock n' roll. I try to think of it as that. To me, Funkad…” — Ty Segall

A good song's a good song, and well known songs take on meaning in people's lives.

A lot of bands are influenced by other bands, and that informs their songwriting for sure. It definitely informs my songwriting, too. But it's more about not thinking about it, and if it comes out of you, it's better.

I listen to a lot of stuff. I mean, I'm constantly switching up what I'm listening to.

With Spotify and all those streaming services, you don't get paid anything. You have to be, like, Madonna or something to actually make a real royalty from that.
