Kurt elaborated on his concept of activism in the Advocate interview: “I was helpless when I was 12, when Reagan got elected, and there was nothing I could do about that. But now this generation is growing up, and they’re in their mid 20s; they’re not putting up with it. . . . I would have rather had Jerry Brown . . . but I’m definitely happy that Clinton’s in. . . . Chelsea seems like a pretty neat person—Birkenstock-wearing kid.” He added, “Amy Carter’s pretty cool too, from what I’ve heard. She’s been seen at Butthole Surfers concerts!”
