The New York band called Outernational puts politics back in rock with their album "Todos Somos Ilegales: We Are All Illegals." It’s a bouncy, bi-lingual, almost cinematic look at America’s southern border, and Outernational will play songs from it live in our studio.

Wow. These fellas rock.

Also, I don't think the guy was looking for a fight. Perhaps an argument to try changing some hearts and minds, but not fisticuffs.

I thought he meant a music altercation. Sort of like a playoff more than anything to do with racism...jamming maybe?

I don't know- your guest is speaking in some broad generalities. He was hopinv to get into some "country western altercations" as if Texas was full blood thirsty racist monsters. Stop wrapping your self in self-righteous delusions- your a band, you play music- you can't save the world and do so is the acme of vanity. Be less like the Clash, and more Gang of Four or Stiff Little Fingers.
