More From Ian MacKaye

We must realize that violence is not confined to physical violence. fear is violence, caste discrimination is violence, exploitation of others, however subtle, is violence, segregation is violence, thinking ill of others and condemning others are violence. in order to reduce individual acts of physical violence, we must work to eliminate violence at all levels, mental, verbal, personal, and social, including violence to animals, plants, and all other forms of life.

I must remind you that starving a child is violence. suppressing a culture is violence. neglecting school children is violence. punishing a mother and her family is violence. discrimination against a working man is violence. ghetto housing is violence. ignoring medical need is violence. contempt for poverty is violence.

Any young, aspiring musicians out there, if music is what you want to do, if music is what you love and your passion. it doesn't take a fragrance, it's not about the tabloids, it's about you putting in the work, practicing every day, practicing your vocals, practicing your instrument, practicing songwriting. hopefully one day you write the song the whole world wants to get down to. i promise you, if you go out there and sing and you put your heart and soul into it and you follow your dream, one day you're going to be sitting next to ellen degeneres talking about how you broke records and rocked the super bowl.
Song Writing Talking
You can talk about things indirectly, but if you want to talk how people really talk, you have to talk r-rated. i mean i've got three incredibly intelligent daughters, but when you get mad, you get mad and you talk like people talk. when a normal 17-year-old girl storms out of the house or 15-year-old boy is mad at his mom or dad, they're not talking the way people talk on tv. unless it's cable.

All violence is injustice. responding to violence with violence is injustice, not only to the other person but also to oneself. responding to violence with violence resolves nothing; it only escalates violence, anger and hatred. it is only with compassion that we can embrace and disintegrate violence. this is true in relationships between individuals as well as in relationships between nations.
Compassion Hatred Violence
Violence never really deals with the basic evil of the situation. violence may murder the murderer, but it doesn’t murder murder. violence may murder the liar, but it doesn’t murder lie; it doesn’t establish truth. violence may even murder the dishonest man, but it doesn’t murder dishonesty. violence may go to the point of murdering the hater, but it doesn’t murder hate. it may increase hate. it is always a descending spiral leading nowhere. this is the ultimate weakness of violence: it multiplies evil and violence in the universe. it doesn’t solve any problems.

There is always going to be love versus hate; we struggle with that as humans within ourselves every day; as a society, we have to struggle. so when you wake up, you have to decide which side you're going to be on. hopefully, that side is positive, so you do the work and hope that your legacy will help change things.

Painters hate having to explain what their work is about. they always say, 'it's whatever you want it to be' - because i think that's their intention, to connect with each person's subconscious, and not to try and dictate.
