Filmage: The Story of Descendents/All

Keith Morris:
My history with Bill goes all the way back to the Hermosa Tackle Box, which was a business that my father owned on Pier Avenue down in Hermosa Beach. My recollection is, him working for my dad when he was about 14 or 15 and asking me [looks up] "Keith, what music should I be listening to?"

Bill Stevenson:
[about Frank Navetta] I was in awe of all these great songs he had written, and he would play them on the acoustic guitar, really hard, like Johnny Ramone style, all six strings. He had this bitter resentment that drenched every step he took and every word that he spoke and his songs were just filled with that envy of people that are better looking, that are more successful. It was just really inspiring to just be around someone who just hated everything that much, you know, it was just great.

Bill Stevenson:
At some point Frank just took off, and he put all of his equipment in a pile and lit it on fire and then moved to Oregon. Genius, right? [Smiles] It's, he's, Frank's a genius.

Tony Lombardo:
Bill came, he had just left Black Flag, he had a road trip all lined up. I just bought this house [rolls his head back and looks up]... and the job, and the girl. It was a mistake. I did it! It was my fault! Bill always points out, [in Bill's voice] "well you quit, so..." And it's true, but [looks down] how long's it been? 26 years? I've seen murderers get off sooner than that, with punishment. [Asks someone off camera] Is my attitude showing?
