Papa Roach's Shaddix On Impact Of War
Yahoo! Music, Apr 10, 2003 7:00 am PDT(4/10/03, 7 a.m. ET) -- While the war in Iraq rages on, Papa Roach singer Jacoby Shaddix said he doesn't know what to think about the politics of the conflict. However, as a veteran's son, he's got first-hand knowledge of how war affects those on the homefront.
"I just don't know what to think," Shaddix said. "It just sucks because war affects the world in so many different ways. For me, my father's a Vietnam veteran and it pretty much just f--ked my family up. Because, you know, my father...hand-to-hand combat--killing men, women, and children and all that sh-t --does something to you. And that pretty much directly affected me because it destroyed my family."
Shaddix added, "We live in a violent world. All I can do is spread the love to the people around me. I don't really support war, but I don't support Sadaam Hussein either."
