How did he react to having his son in bands like DYS and Dag Nasty?
D: My dad is a very, very cool guy and he’s very supportive. I think they were a little alarmed when they realized it was a career and not that this wasn’t just me taking time off from college or something like that. This was going to continue and they realized, “Oh, he’s not going to be the D.C./Virginia boy and follow in daddy’s footsteps,” but to their total credit, they were both really supportive and they come to the shows. I’ve seen my parents in the 9:30 Club with kids just fucking hurling themselves around them and there they are by the soundboard and they’re just watching and staying out of trouble, but they’re really proud. They go out and they buy every record even though they know I would send it to them and stuff, so they’re both incredible people. I’m lucky. So he hasn’t gotten to the point where he’s stage-diving? D: No. I wouldn’t let him. I wouldn’t want him to get hurt. What’s up with the tattoos now? I remember reading an interview with you, I think it was in Anti-Ma
