Bradford Cox

We didn’t have MTV, and I was desperate for something. You know, you’re young, you want something off the beaten path. And Twin Peaks was like, surrealism on network TV.

I like playing at public schools. I like when there’s more of a diverse audience. I’ll play wherever people want to hear my music, and I’ll be glad and grateful for the opportunity, but I’d rather not play for a bunch of white privileged kids.

Usually I’m not really conscious of what’s going on. I don’t have a lot of memories onstage. At all.
BRADFORD COX

Conscious Memories Really
Unlike the rest of everyone I hang around with, I don’t drink, so I remember what happened after shows. And I have never hit on anyone after a show, I’m not that kind of person. Even if I was attracted to someone, I’d be too shy.
BRADFORD COX

Everyone Happen Kind Remember Show Shy
