When I go on stage man I just want people to have fun, I don't want people to think about their problems, I want people to get energy and nutrition and food from that so they can go back into the real world and work on their problems.

But I do think that we approach music, in of itself, with a religious attitude.

I just wanted to say one more thing: I also think that when you go to play music, you're there to play music.

We like where we live and we wanna participate in our neighbourhoods and communities and stuff and try to- we're not like benevolent- it's pretty basic.

I think that you really don't have a choice, when you see that things are wrong the only choice you really have is to just do what you can to make it better.

People are trying to live freely outside of, or within a system that maybe for them on a day-to-day level isn't as free... I definitely think we're positively orientated.
