Meet The Bored!

Steve Aoki (Dim Mak Records/Kid Millionaire)

Mathew J. Bartkowiak (Michigan State University Doctoral Candidate)

"Music is a space from which one can both challenge and affirm their beliefs, practices and perspectives. It is an omnipresent entity, which plays a fundamental role in how we construct our lives and the world around us. I was lucky to have parents and schools who instilled the importance of these foundational tools through a rich and varied musical experience. Kids deserve the insight and joy music can bring and it should be regarded as an essential facet of our children's intellectual and personal development." - MB

Jake Cavaliere (The Lords of Altamont/The Bomboras)

Michael and Angela Davis (Svengirly Music, Inc.)

"This is not about making kids sit through music that means nothing to them, it is about helping them use music as a way to express whatever is in their souls. If we can give this to kids, then we are giving them, and society, a gift that is priceless." - MD

Corey Duffel (Pro Skater)

"Rock and roll was the only thing that kept me sane throughout school. I stood out like a freak, but I found the few other artsy kids into the same tunes. Next thing ya know, I had some close mates and school became somethin' I could relate to." - CD

Shepard Fairey (OBEY/Giant)

"I am honored to be a part of the Music Is Revolution™ Foundation. And if you don't have any MC5 music...go get some." - SF

Handome Dick Manitoba (The Dictators)

"All edumacation is good... Information, if properly taught, with music included, is fun, invigorating, exciting.... If not, school is a bore/chore...." - HDM

John Sinclair (Poet, Jazz Musician, Activist, Former Manager of the MC5 and Former Leader of the White Panther Party)

"I'll be doing concerts, benefits for Music Is Revolution and talking to classes on my travels. There's nothing young people now need more than some real music." - JS



Ryan Dupuis (former radio promotions at Capitol Records, current Beverly Hills realtor, marathon runner, and fundraising superhero)

"Growing up in the 80's, music was my filter, my guide if you will, through all of the propaganda in the media. Music was always much cooler than any parent and more thoughtful than any friend. I think it is safe to say that today's children are subject to more garbage in the media than ever. I look forward to helping these kids find salvation with music." - RD



Randy Bradbury (Pennywise bass player)
