We never had intentions to become a political band but like it or not we have been placed on a unique political platform in the past months. We feel it would be irresponsible not to make something positive come out of that.

I'm liberal on every social aspect, probably. More liberal than people would even believe. But there's still some of that Texas in me, as far as the gun debate. I wish there were no guns; I'm all for gun restrictions. But I'm also of the mind-set, if nothing changes, I'm getting a gun.
