I think we've just grown up. People have watched us grow through the years and watched us evolve. . . . It's just been a crazy musical trip, especially for people who go back a long time ago and remain faithful to the band.

We don't really have a fair system, our social system doesn't work if you're poor in the US you're dirt poor and the distribution of wealth is more than uneven. If you're poor and you get sick you have no health insurance, no financial security, nothing. if that could be changed I wouldn't mind paying more tax, but I mind my taxes being spent on wars!

People are starting to see that it's not what they were led to believe. So I think now in the popular culture, people are starting to get the guts to come out and declare that they oppose this war.

People are here to have a good time, when it gets down to it.

What annoys the hell out of me is the arrogance of some people. They don't even listen to our music, they decided in advance that they don't like it.

We're not a political band. We don't want to tell people what to do or what to think. We just want to tell them to think.
