"Do you think musicians have a responsibility to have a social or political message in their music?
The only people who should sing about social issues or politics are the ones who aren't full of s___. It can't just be some empty rhetoric and a bunch of finger-pointing. If you're going to write a political song, it's gotta come from the same place that you write a love song. I have that song, "Don't wanna be an American idiot." I'm talking about myself and what's going on in my country at the same time."
