Great interview. The interviewer really listens and ask relevant, follow up questions that are well constructed, which unfortunately is far too unusual these days. Too many reporters like the sound of their own voice so much that they forget what the listeners want to hear about, and you end up knowing more about the interviewer than the interviewee. Kudos.

How profound for a punk rock musician/college professor to communicate ideas inspiring people to think through music. Why Not? We sing as children as a memory device and emotion is also tied to remembering and relating/lesrning/applying ideas and concepts.

I would give everything to be taught by Greg Graffin. He doesn't give himself enough credit. Also, his quote, 'if someone's going to criticise you, it's more a reflection of them than it is of you', were the songs from Suffer, No Control, and their other albums, criticisms of themselves as much as they are criticisms of the world around them?
