When I started The Murder I felt like I was charging against the wind, that a conservative punk band would be nothing but ostracized and criticized, and it truly fills my heart with joy to realize how many conservative punks (and conservatives in general) there are in Massachusetts. And not just people hiding underground either. Members of high profile Boston bands, both past and present, radio personalities, and others… Not that fame and recognition makes anyone better than anyone else, because it certianly doesn’t, but it’s nice to know that people are beginning to lose their fear of criticism and are speaking out for what is right, even though it might not be popular, especially in one of the bluest states (at least for now) in the union… I feel like a movement was started this past Tuesday, let’s not let up and continue to Paint It Red!
