Almost everyone shuts down when science becomes too technical; you've got to infuse it with entertainment and storytelling to make it effective. From high school on, science is taught in a very dry manner, which isn't as potent. Greg Graffin effectiveentertainmenthave share on social

I was in a choir as a kid. It was from those early days that my outlook on harmonies and arrangements were nurtured. I always took that with me, even on the earliest Bad Religion record, which strangely was only about six years after that. Greg Graffin arrangementbadchoir share on social
I'm trying to champion the naturalist's worldview and show it's not as heathen as most religious people would make it out to be. Greg Graffin championheathenmake Change image and share on social
I think English punk died in '79 or '80. Maybe '82 at the latest. As far as American punk goes, it wasn't the same as English punk. It wasn't a working-class movement that was protesting the conditions under which this class had to work. I don't think American punk ever died. Greg Graffin americanclasscondition share on social

As a scientist, of course, we have to believe there is no supernatural. There are only natural entities in the universe. And those are the things that we study as natural scientists. Greg Graffin entitynaturalscientist Change image and share on social
Most songwriters who have been lucky enough to have their song on the radio or be heard widely don't know anything about science. The best songs have a strong dose of metaphor. Most songs about science don't have that. Like 'She Blinded Me With Science.' It's a stupid song, no offense to Thomas Dolby. Greg Graffin blinddolbydose share on social
It's been an objective of mine since I started writing songs to include both intellect and energy. Greg Graffin energyincludeintellect Change image and share on social
People are still very uncomfortable with the idea that humans are not specially created species. I believe we are a fantastic species. But we are not created specially. That's very hard for people to accept in their day-to-day routine. Greg Graffin acceptcreateday share on social
