I feel blessed every day that I get a constant reminder of this. And there's no middle ground and nobody's listening to each other.
It just feels like a broken, hyper-divided culture. People come from far right, far left, and they're together dancing and feeling connected and we need that as a reminder that hopefully we can work together, because off stage, it feels like we certainly can't right now, especially in America. It's a reminder of the things we can unite on in a very large way. Reynolds: I think that's why live music is so incredibly important and it always has been. So talk about how that inspires and excites you being able to be part of that again. And I think with music, you're seeing that goodness again. We feel kind of screwed as a civilization, but there are so many good people out there and we don't always get to hear those stories. I have a lot of mixed emotions about it.īaltin: I don't think it is a false sense of security.
And then on the same note we have what's going on in America right now which is obviously we're going backwards in time. It's been a mix of emotions to say the least. And I know that there's tons of refugees there who had came to the show and they've been sending us emails saying, "We're living out of a suitcase and we're gonna be at your show," and tons of flags. But also, European people every night are bringing flags like Ukrainian flags and like they're all over the audience everywhere. Then you walk off stage and you check the news and then it's really sad. Like it's kind of this false security, right? When you're playing shows that you get this sense of, I don't know if it's false, but you get a moment where humanity feels really great. At least for two hours out of every day, I get on a stage where the world suddenly feels very united and everybody's on the same page and everybody's just celebrating life. I feel the same as you still, because I keep up on the news and what's going on there and it does feel like a s**t show. Reynolds: I think it's a little mix of everything, and it's hard because I don't have great perspective on how the people here are feeling.
