Switchfoot's Message

(Day in Rock) One of our readers send over a link to a fun interview with Switchfoot's Shirley. You'll have to read the intro to the interview to know who seriously to take the following excerpt. But this was one of the more interesting passages.

C6M: Jon referred to the fight against AIDS and poverty in Africa as, "a war that can be won." To me, that's a pretty bold statement because it seems pretty futile.

Drew: Yeah.

C6M: Do you think it will ever be won through political means, or is it the church and the private sector that are going to have to step up?

Drew: Wow. That's a really good question. There's a lot that needs to be done on a political level, but, you know, hope doesn't come from money, and joy doesn't come from money. It takes someone taking an interest in them and caring for these people. I just hope we can do a little to help people take notice and do something.

C6M: So, as a musician, what's more important to you: that someone digs your music or that they get the message?

Drew: (without hesitation) The message.
