M.Muir ( Suicidal Tendencies ) a tá jeho pepsi v skladbe Institutionalized.

Kde si prišiel k tomu že „všetko čo si chcel bola pepsi”?

MIKE: Vlastne to mám od jedného malého chlapca menom Howie, ktorý má 12 rokov. Niekedy sa s nami flákal. Teraz žije nadomnou hore , raz prišiel a hovorí hej Mike pozeral si na tie všetky kresby na stene? Dávajú ti zmysel? Je to ako keď ludia berú drogy ,ja také nerobím, pozrú do svetla a vypotia zo seba „wow všetko zrazu dáva taký zmysel". Smiešne bolo že v tom povedal chapče povedal som mame aby mi dala colu, ona mi ju nechcela dať neviem prečo, prečo?. Preto som to zaspieval v texte lebo mi to prišlo také srandovné všetko súvisí s problémami s rodičmi keď si s tebou nevedia dať rady povedia : dáme ťa do ústavu. Viem že 10 asi 15 mojich známych tam bolo všetko je to situácia keď rodičia už si nevedia rady a namiesto poďme sa porozprávať povedia zavreme ťa do ústavu. To že nerozumieš človeku neznamená že je blázon, je to taký výstrelok „zavrime ho do ústavu”.

English : MRR: Where'd you come up with those little details like "all I na was a Pepsi?"

MIKE: Actually, I got it from this little kid named Howie, who's 12 years old. He used to hang out with us. He lives up here now. One time he goes "Mike, did you ever look at the wall and just look at pictures and you figure out everything and it makes so much sense?" It's like some people that do drugs, acid or whatever; I don't do that stuff. But they'll look at a light and they'll go "Wow, everything makes so much sense!" It was just funny he was saying "man, I told my mom to give me a Coke, and she wouldn't give me one. Wow, I don't know why. Why?" I just put that in there cuz I thought it was amusing. It all relates to having problems with parents and when they can't deal with you they say "I'll have you stuck in an institution." I know about 10 or 15 of my friends have been, and it's all a situation where their parents just are tired with dealing with them. They're not saying "okay, this is the way you are and let's try to figure it out." They say "it's too much of a bother, we'll just stick him in an institution." It's saying just because you can't/don't understand they way a person is doesn't mean they're crazy. They probably can't understand the way you are. It's just a cop-out: stick him in an institution.
