Ok, you may have a point here and I usually hate repeating rumors I hear but I have heard from many insiders that Zach did rack up millions from the band but has made huge contributions to inner city schools, political movements in other countries and so on and so on. I cant see Zach being a money grubbing fuck, I do believe and want to believe that he has donated much of his earnings. I also think that if the really wanted to get thier message heard, then they needed to get on a bigger label than the one they were on before the self titled album came out. Sony comes along, gives em a big fat deal, they make a shit load of money but get heard and donate a lot, I think thats better than just staying low and keeping quiet. I am also prepared to be yelled at by many of you now hehehe.
