    • Aww I remember some of the spots they showed on screen. I went to school there.

      Good to know the community is still liberal. Then again, I would guess a lot of major college campuses are relatively liberal.

    • While I do completely agree with their politics, dating back to their drumming on pickle bucket days at Wayward Council in Gainesville, I don't really understand why we should care what Tom thinks when he writes a whole album about the corrupt Music Industry, only to sign to a major and screw over the DIY kids that helped them get to where they are now.

    • yea i hope obama gets elected and actually does something. lets just hope there isnt another recount in florida.

      although some people dont believe in representation (especially by only two capitalist parties), its still exciting to see what happens in the next four years, whether its global peace or global war.

    • In America, our celebrities are like the royalty in the UK. They do greatly influence the people with their political agendas, social issues, their moral causes. Though I may not always agree with them, it is nice to see people who have such a strong voice to be heard, to use it to be involved with the world around us. In this generation of apathy, it is refreshing to see involvement.
