 “The story is this: once, in a hole-in-the-wall venue in New York, towards the end of the nineties, there was a kid leaning against the wall with his Bad Religion patch prominently displayed on his jacket. Above the band’s name, with a marker, he had written the word "OLD". That's how much Bad Religion fans had come to hate the band after its foray into the major world.”
