Long live MacKaye.

(an excerpt from an interview with Ian MacKaye in last month's Satya)

"Someone recently asked me, 'Are you still living this straight edge lifestyle?' It is a reflection of the perversity of this culture that it would be conventional to think that not putting toxins into your body would somehow be a lifestyle, when in fact, that's life.

...When people ask me about my diet, 'Why don't you eat meat?' the response is always, 'Why not? Why should I?' I can think of a hundred reasons why I don't. I'd eat a piece of meat just as soon as I'd eat a piece of shit."
