Chronology
Interpretations
Mayo Thompson, 2005[1]
I think singles are a really good thing, because you can get into a dialogue with things like Yik Yak, which was aimed at Patti Smith and Judas Priest. I mean he’s like, Ya’ll think that Rock and Roll is the art form of the present. Well, that’s nice.
The stuttering may be a reference to The Who's song "My Generation".
