CURRENT SINGLE: “How They Remember You”
The U.S. has been through a rather tumultuous time I politics that has, and in some ways continues to divide people along party lines. While some celebrities choose to be outspoken about their political beliefs, the guys in Rascal Flatts do not. “I feel like people would rather hear what my thoughts and opinions are on music and they’d rather hear me do that,” says Gary LeVox. So, I have always kind of kept it on that level and made it about what I do for a living, you know.”
Jay DeMarcus agrees and is even more clear when he says, “I have my own personal beliefs that I keep in the privacy of my own home with my family, and I share with my guys, but we certainly don’t use our platform to try to influence people politically.”
Rascal Flatts latest song is “How They Remember You,” and what they don’t want to be remembered for is talking politics in public, because Jay says, “I feel like you’re alienating half of your fanbase no matter which way you go.”
