“The whole point was just to be yourself, no matter what that was. You didn't have to fit into a certain punk-rock cliché. Create whatever your compelled to create. People were putting out their own records, and it just seemed natural to put out my own magazine. When I was really young, I started making magazines and little books, just folded-over pieces of typing paper, so when I discovered punk rock, it really blew my mind. I played in bands and stuff, but making my own zines seemed like an inherent part of that scene.”

I just want to learn to be a great songwriter," and got really into trying to figure out how that could be possible.” quote by Ezra Furman](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/f47/ezra-furman-4439_band_i-thought-as-a-kid-maybe-i-don-t-want-to_1161591.jpg)
