I'm glad that Jim has decided to put his true feelings out there rather than pretend to be neutral in order to protect sales or branding.  Whether you agree with him or not on certain things, i would hope that everyone can appreciate his authenticity.  I can't think of a better modern day musician to be an ambassador for love and tolerance.

Well said, couldn't agree more..

I love the song, and the video is beautiful!  He is definitely authentic. The song says enough and the announcement doesn't add much. He is standing at the intersection of 6th and Broadway in Downtown LA, not too far from skid row.  It is just a few blocks from where he will play at the Orpheum.  The woods look like Griffith Park.  Has Jim moved to LA permanently? He seems to be a fixture there.
