I'd rather have a smaller following of really cool people who get it, who will grow with us as we grow and are fans for life, than people that have us in their five-disc changer with Reba McEntire and Toby Keith. We don't want those kinds of fans. They limit what you can do.
It's the people who have gone overboard and done such irrational things that take you back to the days of book burning. That is a concern for me,
We won't as a band, and we probably won't on the stage. But we will feel free to give our opinion in our personal lives. And we've always answered questions when people ask us, so we will not be afraid of that.
