“First off, I honestly don’t even think that Jeb Bush will make it past nominations at this point,” Spencer says. “The Presidential election is still a ways off – I think there’s a lot more things happening right now that are worth me getting pissed off about, both as a musician and a citizen. There was a shooting just recently in Carolina – how many times are we, as Americans, going to have to go through this? There’s so many things wrong with this. We don’t need guns. We certainly don’t need automatic weapons. We don’t need a consensus on flying the Confederate flag. It’s been a very hard year. This is something of great concern to me.”
A new interview and feature on The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion has been published on Beat.com.au (and TheBrag.com).
