Or something like that.5
Let us try:
1- here he says bands should basically write music about writing music, because that's what they know of. None of us should bother voicing opinions about things we have no last say on.
2- unless, of course, they feel strongly enough about certain things.
3- its a great thing that art can express people's feelings, thoughts and frustrations, that may be caused by political issues.
4- he finds it too confusing that you have to have your own interpretation in every little case, so making it a rule for bands to not get involved in that kind of subject would help him with that confusion.
5- oh wait, he doesn't know what heŽs talking about either.
