Joshua Chaplinsky conducted a really in depth interview with Greg Graffin for ChuckPalahniuk.net about evolution, his new book, the existence of god, and Bad Religion's new album and 30th anniversary.

Some Bad Religion-related highlights:

GG (on Into The Unknown): "(...) when I say failed experiment, I'm talking about it as you would talk about certain evolutionary lineages as not persisting. They were failed and forgotten. This one is similar in that we were only 17 or 18 years old and we were just trying something new without any understanding of music as a career. It was almost spontaneous. As I also point out in the book, true creativity is spontaneous and unpredictable. You just don't know what the results are going to be.
(...) I listen to it for a laugh. Just like you would look at old pictures of yourself and crack up."

GG (on The New America): "I really like the songs on "The New America," it was a special album for me because I got to make it with my hero, Todd Rundgren, as producer.
Actually, the other guys said he was a total dick. I actually had a great time recording. I haven't talked to him since because he lives in Hawaii.
I have not been back to his island since we recorded, but I wouldn't hesitate to go knock on his door if we went back."

GG (on the future): "I hope to write more books; I'm enjoying this process a lot. Bad Religion hasn't made its last album, I hope. We still have more creativity in us. Maybe we'll start to curtail the tours a little bit. I mean, we've been touring like maniacs. It's very tiring. But we really enjoy it, and the number of fans keeps growing and we've gone to more countries on this tour than ever before. We finally got to play Moscow this year. That was pretty amazing."

@Joshua, thanks for this great interview and thanks for letting us know!
