"Certain bands have a jinx. There were some sad chapters of the Ramones’ final days. The Sex Pistols started out one way and ended up another. The Who were a jinxed group. Elvis was jinxed. Not everyone was the Mills Brothers, where they had no conflict for 55 years. I think for the Runaways, that was part of the fuel — the tension."

Also striking:

What have you learned about constructing a band versus a band having to be an organic thing?

There’s no difference. It’s all grind. Whether the guys farm themselves or you farm them or it happens like “American Idol,” the public either buys it or they don’t. There’s nothing sacred about the process.
