From an old 2004 Mammoth Press interview with Matt Skiba:
*snip*
MP: Any ideas for a dream tour?
MS: The Network for sure, I love the Network. We would have to play to right, like us plus 5 bands?
MP: Yeah.
MS: Hmm, I love the Network, have you heard them?
MP: Yeah, great album.
MS: Hmm, who else The Network, Hot Water Music, can this be any band?
MP: Yeah, Misfits or whoever. Any bands you'd like to tour with.
MS: Hmm, well that's hard. If it were a dream tour I would not want to play because I just want to party and watch the show. I guess it would just be my favorite bands, Misfits, Damned, Clash, Ramones & the Network.
Because clearly The Network is up there with the likes of the Clash and the Ramones and the Misfits. AHAHAHAHAH!!!
*snip*
MP: What's one song you wish you had written?
MS: There's a song called "roshembaum" by the Network. It's like the best song ever written. That song is the reason I love the Network so much. I heard it and just though, fuck I wish I had written that. There are tons of songs like that, but I got that record and it sent chills down my back.
I'm pretty sure that's the transcriptionist fucking that right up, as I'm sure he meant "Roshambo." AHAHAHAH. He played that song when he was DJing during Heather's art show in Chicago last year. Along with the U2 & Green Day version of "The Saints Are Coming."
