Michael Raine Maida Quotes

  • “It’s just about how hard it is for kids to grow up today. They’re inundated with the media and images and cliques they try to have to fit into. Two images that are really strong for me lyrically are ordinary’s just not good enough today,’ and when I think of kids today, I would never think of a group of eight year olds going out to a baseball park and throwing the ball around. It doesn’t happen any more. I have a nine year old brother; he’s either inside playing Nintendo or staying up late on a school night watching Beavis & Butt-Head. And you juxtapose that against the old Superman, on the black and white series. He was a real hero, good values, strong willed, a gentleman, but I think Beavis & Butt-Head wins today.” (Talking about the song “Superman’s Dead” from the album “Clumsy”)
