The story of 'Mirror Mirror' is in many ways a story about evolution. It's about the evolution of a child into an adult.

There are several books out on punk history, but I haven't read any of them. I was there.
I've written almost 200 songs with Bad Religion. No matter where you look in our history, the focus has been trying to instill some of these disturbing realities about the world, some of the implications of evolution into an artistic format that can be interpreted by people who may never study evolution.
The thread of culture that runs through the entire history of punk is also a dedication to challenging the authoritarian.
