I just think it's important to get out there.

I usually try not to stand on soapboxes, though.

If I have something to say, I'll put it in my music, and I'll put it out there.

Well, that's the best way to get it to people anyway.

Yeah, look at Bob Dylan, Masters of War.

I mean, that's the military-industrial complex right there.

That's an incredible song.

Only a pawn in their game is the history of racism and how that started is pretty much a controlled political ploy to get the poor blacks and the poor whites to blame each other for everything happening.

You ever hear Bill Hicks bit about the news?

Well, you know, look, I think it's out there.

I think it's always been out there.

But I think the way to combat it...

is to build strong local community yeah you know and and build uh you know that's why i think regenerative regenerative farming is really important and trying to and then you know voting for people that will support local agriculture and proper properly grown food and probably like sourced food and these things are very important you know

I like to be informed on what I'm talking about.

I really do, and that takes a lot of time.

It's not something that I can look at something online that comes up and just have an immediate opinion on.

And I think that really I'm just like –

I don't know where I stand on half the issues that are out there because I see a lot of – I have to sift through most of the bullshit.

So really where it ends up happening is that by the time I get to the voting booth, I'm hoping that I'm properly informed.

I saw something, but I just don't know enough.
