Today, I am joined by my long time friend and Brand New expert, Sal. Sal has been a fan of Brand New since around the time their second record came out and approached me immediately following the Jesse Lacey sexual assault allegation statement was made. This episode we cover the statement, why it sucks, why it isn't okay, Kevin Devine's statement, the retiring of songs with bad content, and growing up on Long Island and how lyrics rooted in sexism makes a difference and why we need to educate and do better.
