[Gerard] "If for one minute you think you're better than a sixteen year
old girl in a Green Day t-shirt, you are sorely mistaken. Remember the
first time you went to a show and saw your favorite band. You wore
their shirt, and sang every word. You didn't know anything about scene
politics, haircuts, or what was cool. All you knew was that this music
made you feel different from anyone you shared a locker with. Someone
finally understood you. This is what music is about."
