Reverend And The Makers chat to I Like Music
ILM: Yeah, it's all about truth isn't it?
JON: Yeah. I mean everybody knows my opinions from the war in Iraq to the Government and I'm not saying I'm right and their wrong, although I do think what I'm saying is right, but what I'm saying is… 'what do you think?' I'm trying to get a debate going. Post 911, new artists who spoke out and said anything, how many were there? Not many at all, they're very minimal in number. So I'm saying, 'let's have a debate,' there's no debate in society I feel.
ILM: I think there should be more musicians who open up that discussion, definitely.
JON: Musicians, by and large, are an intelligent bunch of people. Their awareness of the facts is undoubtable and I think the reason that they don't' speak out is largely due to the fact that they don't want to lose record sales.

Jun: ilikemusic because... music can convey a mood, enhance a mood or change a mood. Music can be used to inspire and the artform is simple yet complicated. It's fun to listen to and even more fun to create and perform. It speaks when just a simple word can't. It's a blessing!!

Master Gee: ilikemusic because... It gives me an opportunity to truly express myself, unlike what happens in an everyday living situation where there are restrictions on you and limitations on you and demands on you and bills to pay, through music I can truly be comfortable with who I am, and do what I really want to do and say what I really want to say.
Ali Campbell, UB40: ilikemusic because... It’s supposed to bring people together.
