Tonight, It's The Rock And Roll All

I Didn't Choose To Be A Guitar Player. That Was Something That Felt Like It Was Chosen For Me. And With That Blessing And Curse, I, Throughout My Entire Career, It's Been My Job To Weave My Convictions Into My Vocation. And Whether I'm Standing In The Streets Of Chicago Or The Occupy Wall Street Or In Madison, Wisconsin, My Job Is To Steel The Backbone Of People On The Frontlines Of Social Justice Struggles, And To Put Wind In Sails Of Those Struggles. And People Who Are Fighting On A, On A Daily Basis, At A Grass Roots Level, For The Things That I Believe In.

The Most Powerful Music Is Music With Purpose.

Things Like Rebellion And Resistance To Authority Are Absolutely As Much A Part Of The Human Experience As Love And Cars Are, And It's A Part That Doesn't Get Covered Very Much In Pop Music.

Bad Presidents Make For Great Music, And I'm Gonna Do My Best To Provide It.

Unity And Resistance Is A Strong American Trait.
