Does it ever bother you, when you're onstage talking about something
that's really eating at you, to think that the crowd would respond the same way
no matter what you were saying?

Yeah. I approached it a bit differently when we did the first show in Dayton,
Ohio. We'd been told we're the perfect house band for David Duke's America. And
it's like, fuck David Duke, I don't like being associated with that. I asked the
crowd: "Is that what you get out of this, that we're racists and you're
supporting it? 'Cause if that's the case, I'm gonna go home. That's not why
we're here." I asked the crowd about those things. I got some real
interesting responses. The way they reacted was a little bit different than
normal. There was silence in different places and cheering in others. You could
tell that they were thinking for a minute.
