THIRD EYE BLIND SELL "SCIENCE" SHIRTS AFTER CLEVELAND SHOW CONTROVERSY
CHICAGO (AP) Third Eye Blind are turning a Twitter topic into a
political fundraiser. Singer Stephan (STEE'-fan) Jenkins says they are
selling T-shirts that say "Raise your hand if you believe in science"
on their website and donating the money to the campaign of Democratic
presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. That's what Jenkins said from
the stage to an audience full of Republican National Convention
attendees during a Third Eye Blind show at the Rock Hall two weeks ago.
Jenkins says he looked out at the audience and saw "a lot of pearls and
blazers. His comments about science and gay rights did not sit well
with that audience, and Third Eye Blind was a trending topic on Twitter
for three days after that. SOUND: 010-a-18-(Stephan (STEE'-fan)
