A Quote by Joe Kennedy III

If we don't debate this, if we don't debate this, we are not worthy of our country. We fail our country.
We [Paramore] are very different people at home, but the people that we are on-stage is just a side of us that our crowd and the audience that comes to our shows brings out of us.
