Has the #MeToo movement affected the music business?
“It’s a good question. I think the #MeToo movement is definitely justified – it’s actually way overdue. But obviously, it’s complicated in the context of being in a fucking rock and roll band.
“Fortunately, I’m taken, so I’m not dealing with all that. But I have to admit there were times I looked into my past and [as if he’s talking to himself]: ‘Well, that was consensual.’ I never had a working relationship with anybody that I was trying to pressure into having sex or anything.
“The problem is that you could be falsely accused of something, but it almost doesn’t matter – it’s out there. Even if you were to get your name cleared, the damage is already done. And that’s pretty sad.”
