Stephen says,” being a rock star is not what it’s all about for us. If I can
do something more, like helping someone out, then that, to me, will all be
worth it." Though they are busy with their newest album, Don’t
Take Friendship Personally, they still manage to be spokes people for
World Vision. An organization in which they have traveled to third world
countries educating villages about aids and other epidemics. Further more
they extend the message to fans, educating young people on ways they can help
the cause.
