Singer/songwriter Dave Matthews gave a brief interview in Rolling Stone today, talking about his band’s new album and a number of other miscellaneous subjects. The interview started with a discussion of politics, with Dave Matthews essentially shaking his head over the rhetoric featured at the recent Republican debate.

I can stand up and say, “If I was President, I would make everybody’s boobs bigger, and I would make men stronger, and everybody would be happy, and everybody would be fed, and the oceans would be clean, and everyone would have jobs. And that’s what I’ll do if I’m President.” Wait, do you shit money? What are you fucking talking about? There’s no way you can do anything but damage our children’s future by claiming you can spend more money to make us stronger, make us better, make us happier, make the whole world a better, more peaceful place, and cut taxes and have less government. ‘Cause you’re just talking about something that’s fucking impossible.

He also spoke about Presidential candidate Bernie Sanders, saying “when I hear someone like Bernie Sanders talking, I think there’s a hope.” He continued, saying, “At least we’re hearing more of a voice from him by having him out there and speaking in complete sentences rather than a bunch of slogans that don’t mean anything. So I feel like there’s hope as long as some people are speaking to the real problem in this country.”

As for the new Dave Matthews Band album, don’t expect anything any time soon. Matthews dodged any questions with specific details, saying:

We’re going to have an album at some point. It’s not the Eighties or Nineties or Seventies when it mattered. We’ve always let people record our music, so probably they’ll end up getting some of it anyway if they just tape the shows or we put some live releases out. But at some point, we’ll have an album that we’ll put out for whatever reason people still do that.

We’ll be sure to update you when we know more about Dave’s new release.
