Music is all about leadership and there ain't really a lot of leaders.

You gotta have life your way. If you ain't losing your mind, you ain't partying right.

This time around, it's not a black-or-white thing — you got somebody in there for us that's well-spoken and gonna handle their business. I just wanted to do my part and let them know we need change, we need help, it's rough out there.
