I got a daily dose of racism just being myself. It was not something I could hide from. You are made up of where you came from. The South has been a negative, and now a positive influence on me. There's a nice atmosphere in the South.
People are friendly, and the food is great.
When I went up North, they were more progressive, but at the same time, not as nice. Then I moved to Seattle, which is a balance of both. People are very politically aware, but it's mellow and nice. That's what the next record is going to be about. It doesn't need to be a large group.
