The first Decline I did was out of sheer love and appreciation for the music. In 1977, it was more about bands, because punk was a new form of music. It was groundbreaking and political.

Those movies, Decline I and II and Suburbia, are dearly loved, but they never made any money. I didn't even have the rights for some of them.

I actually picked up copies of Decline I and II at a flea market once. I walked out without paying.

Nobody wanted to touch Decline III when they found out what it was about.
