cities issues people
There are only a few places that I go where people recognize me anyway. I have to be at the right place, in the right city. It's not really that much of an issue.
school relieved wanted
When I was sent to public school, I was relieved that I could wear what I wanted to wear.
blood people mail
The people who send us fan mail written in blood say the nicest things, so it doesn't freak us out too much.
christian stories shirts
I just heard a story from someone the other day where somebody was beaten up by Christians for wearing one of our shirts. Of course, that's a very Christian thing to do.
drug-use practice people
Personally I have never found the practice of recreational drug use appealing. In fact, I have always found the lifestyle and the people who surround it to be abhorrent.
swings tree faces
I'm Davey. I sing, make faces and swing from trees.
thinking people heard
I can't think of anything that people probably wouldn't already have heard of.
cutting hair
But when I cut off my hair I even had friends not recognize me.
eye people looks
Look at who people are elevating and deifying in the public eye, and ask yourself what those people have done to receive such lauding and what it is they haven't. When you look at that you say, okay, are these people being revered for something of merit, or are they completely hallow? Or even worse, are they being revered for something that is actually destructive?
fashion animal abuse
Animals are sentient creatures. I love them very much. I do not feel that we have the right to torture, murder, and abuse them for our own disgusting dietary and fashion wants and needs.
emotional views political
Personally I have my own political views and being straight-edge I'm happy to talk about that, but the music that always meant the most to me, was more emotional.
statements
I don't really like to infuse music with politics - but I wouldn't say as a general statement that it shouldn't be.
knowing interesting preparation
As far as vocal preparation goes, it's really an interesting thing for such a fragile instrument and using it properly is like walking a tightrope. I have learned not to do extensive warm-ups. It's really more of a cerebral mind-body connection Zen hippy thing, just knowing your body and figuring out if I do that then I will be able to speak tomorrow.
boys singing stitches
One time I was singing along with a boy that looked like me in the crowd and he pushed away the mic and started making out with me and accidently bit my lip and I had to get stitches.
