To the world.....
It is with my absolute pleasure that Aiden has been added to the "Rock Beyond Belief" festival next March the 31st at the Fort Bragg Military festival in North Carolina. Justin Griffith, the soldier in charge of setting this up has a very interesting story to tell. The United States military had no problems funding a christian based musical event, but when it was suggested that the large number of atheists and secular humanists who are enlisted, would like to have a function of their own choosing, the top leaders at Fort Bragg decided to pull the plug on the entire thing. Cutting the funding without any reason at all, that I can see, except that maybe christians in the Army are the only ones allowed to have fun.
Not taking no for an answer, Justin joined a group called T.A.M. (Triangle Atheist Meetup) They fought the law and THEY WON. The concert/speaker event is planned for the 31st of March, 2012. It's not just for military personnel, it's Free to everyone who would like to attend, THATS FREE TO EVERYONE. So get your asses to North Carolina at the End of March. Aiden will be there thrashing faces.
Also.... I have never been more excited to play an event in my whole life. The celebrated ethologist, evolutionary biologist and author Professor Richard Dawkins will be speaking. This man is one of my personal heroes. Dawkins has been able to stand up to the tyranny and oppression this world has suffered by the practitioners of archaic doctrine, and say "NO, You are wrong". With reason and science guiding him, he endeavors to make light of very dark and sinister world we all reside in, and show that faith alone wont sustain us anymore. There is myriad of great speakers and musicians throughout the day........ so get ready.
