Jared Paul is one of my biggest influences as far as combining art & "activism" goes. For years he toured as lead singer for Prayers For Athiests, and as an opening act with Sage Francis and participant in Strange Famous Records. J ared Paul is a national slam champion, vegan, anti-capitalist, and is one the realest cats in the game. Check out his music/poetry/activism at http://jaredpaul.org. This interview was conducted over skype and a few points there are minor glitches, for that i apologize, blame the NSA ;)
