8.20.03 Interview (Buffalo News)
thank-you Angela for asking this question!!
You have spoken out on so many issues in the past, especially after September 11th, you always seemed to be putting your opinions right out there. What do you think the most important issue is right now, and what can your fans do to help?
Robby: Right now, I really think that people should pay really really close attention to what the government’s doing with the rest of the world. Um… I think it’s everyone’s duty to pay attention to the reactions of others to the steps our government’s taking. I think our foreign policy’s pretty messed up. I think people need to get involved in the process of choosing people who will fix this problem.
