Kristy, Are You Doing Okay?

Kristy, Are You Doing Okay?
[2008]
Album "Rise And Fall, Rage And Grace"

"Kristy is about sexual coercion/molestation and is based on a true story. When I was younger, I knew a girl that was abused. I don't know whether I am the first musician to write about this subject, because it is obviously very delicate and anything but easy to make a song about such a complex theme. I also think or hope that this song speaks to other victims and can help them to talk or come out about their problem"
(Da un'intervista al frontman degli Offpring, Dexter Holland, pubblicata da una rivista musicale tedesca)

Hell Is For Children

Hell Is For Children
[1980]
Album "Crimes of Passion"

"Hell Is for Children" came from an article that…I was living in New York when we wrote it and the New York Times did a series of articles about child abuse in America. I came from a really small town on Long Island and I had no idea that this existed, not in the little gingerbread place I came from. I was stunned. It affected me so much. I was moved by the articles. When ever that would happen I would write. I said to Neil [Giraldo, guitarist], ‘I want you to do something to the music that it sounds like pain. I want the intense pain that’s happening to these children in the notes,’ and so he did and it turned out just great. It became an anthem. I always wonder if other people have lofty intentions. I didn’t."
(Da un'intervista a Jeff Maisey)
