It was. And it was appreciated.

You were involved in a lot of anti-Bush efforts. Did the 2004 election alter your belief in the role music can play in politics and social change?

We raised money for MoveOn.org and tried to honestly motivate people and disseminate information and get out the vote, and that was positive. But looking back, maybe that's not the way. I'd rather charge a few dollars more for tickets, and without saying a damn thing, take that money and use it in that town for someone who needs it rather than trying to convince someone to be active or not.

Grain of salt though i guess, googling this article only brings up various copy and pasted versions of it.

Wow. The nerve of Ed to not pose naked with a snake for Spin. WHAT AN ASSHOLE.

I like where she's mad that they didn't dedicate a song to her. Shouldn't she know you need to petition that shit in advance?

She sounds like a very strange person.

She sounds like the worst. The way she "casually" dropped in the part about being married to one of the Pixies made me cringe.

I'm sure it was. But it seems the biggest example she has of how SHE was mistreated was that they didn't make a big deal out of her leaving. There's nothing in there that makes me think "Man, that must have sucked for her..."
