My Music Is Made For The People

My Take Is That There's Two Ways To Approach History. You Sit In Your Armchair And You Watch It On The News And You Return To Your Playstation. Or You Get Out In The Streets And You Make It. Like, When Those Supreme Court Justices, You Know, Legalize Desegregation, It Wasn't Due To Their Infinite Wisdom. It's Because People Whose Names You Do Not Read About In History Books, People Whose Faces You Will Never See, Were The Ones Who Struggled And Sacrificed, Sometimes Gave Their Lives, To Make This Country A More Equal One. When, It's Like Those People Don't Make History, It's Us.

There's Not A Country On Earth That Doesn't Feel That It Might Be Invaded By Donald Trump's Regime.

The Most Powerful Music Is Music With Purpose.

In Our Country There's Never Been A Successful Progressive Struggle That Did Not Have A Soundtrack, Whether It Was The Civil Rights Movement, Workers' Rights Movement, Women's Rights Movement. There's Got To Be Songs At The Barricades, And Those Are The Kinds Of Songs That I Try To Write.

There Are Many Fans Of Hard Rock Music That Have Been Wrongly Pigeonholed As Apathetic. This Music Is Not Music For The Elitist Coffeehouse Culture In Soho. It' S Rock 'n' Roll Music For Kids Across The Land, And I Think That Makes It Much More Subversive In A Way, In That It Has The Form And The Function Of A Powerful, Populist Music, But It Can Carry Very Incendiary Messages.
