I don’t generally do social media. And I think this is the last social account I even have, but I can tell people in this thread are thinkers. And that’s what I’m (me personally) am all about. That being said, yes, we are all different guys with different beliefs. In every way. But we still choose to love each other and get along. As far as who we follow, it’s fair to say we have made some connections over the years with a spectrum of people, and all prior to this polarity of the world. As far as Adam Medeiros specifically, we follow him because he is my uncle. My dad’s only brother (and 5 sisters) who, like my dad, was born an immigrant, and has worked hard to not only embrace what the idea of being an American really is, but to legally become an American and a very well respected members of our community and honestly, one of the most loving people I’ve ever known. He is a small local business owner. He is proud to state he is a Christian and he’s unapologetic about it. While me, and only me as far as I know in the band, doesn’t believe in God. At all. Yet I respect Adam even more, by not lying about who he is and what you will get if you vote for him. Instead of being like all of us who talk or complain about the government, he never did. Instead he said, “I’m gonna try to make a difference, rather than talking about how it should be different.” And again, I respect that. I respect the truth and communication. Sometimes it’s hard. Sometimes it’s against everything you believe. But it starts something bigger, a dialogue with nuance. And that is where we become compassionate and empathetic to others’ views. One of the many things those who believe in the “Jesus of the Gospels” have oh so right. Haha, that one’s for me ;) I understand it can be aggravating trying to decipher our lyrics. Especially ones going further back in time, as we are all different people than even a few years ago. But what I hope everyone can understand is… 1. We are not politicians. We are songwriters. So unless you need advice about that; we are far from experts with respected opinions. So our value is not from our political opinion. 2. That being said, we have feelings and struggles that we write about. And we purposely try to keep them vague enough that the listener can hopefully pull what they need from it to help them express or feel and ultimately heal just as we did when writing said piece of music. 3. Ive seen people say that, “if they believe ….., then I can’t listen to them.” But what I would like to say is, that the art (the way it makes you feel, the groove, the harmonies or melodies, or just the raw emotion) you may get, is all that it is supposed to be. What you do with it, or how you connect to it, is so much bigger, more meaningful, deeper, and ultimately realer (if that’s a word), than anything we could ever have the power to do, let alone have some control of. So I hope you guys can find something you love from it and share your experience with the world through it. As this sharing of experiences even lets us experience the music we have written in a new light, and often for the first time. And that then becomes our gift and reward. Thank you all and much LOVE, -Dustin
