The painter paints his brushes black, Through the canvas runs a crack, Portrait of the pain never answers back...

A protest song is a song that's so specific that you cannot mistake it for bullshit.

America is two Mack trucks colliding on a superhighway because all the drivers are on amphetamines.

In such ugly times, the only true protest is beauty.

One good song with a message can bring a point more deeply to more people than a thousand rallies.

To me, in a perfect world, you have the flavor and the magic of movies like 48 Hours, Lethal Weapon and Bad Boys.
