in which Lewis discusses many topics. Lewis is a solo musician, Nerdfighter, third-person advocate, and a fan of verbal irony. I also really hate when people switch point-of-view in the middle of introductions.

Kids play T-ball, then baseball; they play games and have practice every week and, if they’re serious about it, pre-season and post-season too. We never think, “Let’s have kids play baseball for eight weeks in seventh grade,” and then expect that in five years they can join the majors or even be on a college team. But for some reason we do this with civics. We say, “We’re going to have you do a penny harvest in fifth grade and a service learning project in tenth grade, and then we’ll teach you abstractly about government for a semester in twelfth grade.” Then our students enter the major leagues of citizenship, and we give them the vote and expect them to keep our country going. And that’s just crazy!

- 1: What band has inspired you the most?
It’s hard to say. I really like Streetlight Manifesto and learning their songs has made me a much better jazz musician on trumpet and trombone. - 3: Is music a big part of your life?
Yeah, I just hate being in school band. - 5: What is the favorite merch item you’ve ever purchased?
One FIsh, Two Fish, Red Fish, Reel Big Fish! (t-shirt) - 7: What song do you listen to when you’re sad?
Comets by fanfarlo. or Two Weeks by Grizzly Bear. Those bring the creys because of emotional attachment. - 9: What song do you listen to when you’re pissed off?
Streetlight Manifesto songs! I play my face off on those. - 11: CD’s or iTunes?
iTunes just for ease - 13: Who is the funniest band/band member you know?
Aaron Barrett. He’s a lame-o but a funny one. - 15: How has music helped you?
Who’s to say? I dunno how I would be without it so I don’t know if I’m better or worse with it.
