More From Adam Oates

People ask me: ‘what is punk? how do you define punk?' here's how i define punk: it's a free space. it could be called jazz. it could be called hip-hop. it could be called blues, or rock, or beat. it could be called techno. it's just a new idea. for me, it was punk rock. that was my entrance to this idea of the new ideas being able to be presented in an environment that wasn't being dictated by a profit motive.

Johnny rotten isn't punk. maybe that's punk to somebody, but these people are participating and challenging the corporations that are telling us what punk is and what good music is.
People Challenges Rotten
I don't think that the punk sound really became the punk sound until much later. the punk era wasn't really just one musical sound. there are a lot of differences among television, the ramones, and the talking heads.
Thinking Differences Talking
In the ring, it's fun to be the bad guy, but 24 hours a day, when you have to talk to kids, and you see make-a-wish kids that love you, the bad guy stuff is not fun. i'd rather be a good guy 24 hours a day than a bad guy just for a few minutes in the ring.

The problem was, you couldn't have one without the other. there couldn't be a bad guy unless there was a good guy to create the standard. and there couldn't be a good guy until a bad guy showed just how far off the path he might stray.

What intrigues me is that people kind of naturally want to label or pigeonhole the characters. they want to make it easy for themselves to go, "all right. there's the good guy, there's the bad guy, there's the girl. okay, i get it now." but life isn't one-dimensional. the world isn't simply divided into good versus evil. i think we're all capable of both. so any time the hero does something i'm not crazy about, or the bad guy does something i can relate to, i'll find it more interesting.
