Carly Stoltzfus Contributing Writer Saturday, October 4th, just an hour before they were on stage, Switchfoot's Jon Foreman (vocals, guitar), Tim Foreman (bass), Jerome Fontamillas (keyboard), and Chad Butler (drums), were very willing to humor me with this brief interview.

Cedars'. Do you have a favorite song that you will play tonight? Is there going to be a time when you’ll think, “Aw, this is the song I like the best!” Jon: Well, you know, that's the good thing about me as a song­ writer cause the songs are kind of like my kids, all my children— Jerome: but not the soap opera— Jon: so I have an appreciation for all of them. It definitely depends from night to night which one feels right. Sometimes it’s a slower song like “On Fire” and other times it might be more of a rocking crowd...it totally depends. That’s one of the great Jon Foreman sweetly sings a popular Switchfoot tune. S. McDivitt / Cedars things about live music. Anything can happen. Cedars'. What inspires the writing process for you? Do you do Jon: Actually, me and Mandy did a little duet for the album all the writing? which was very interesting and fun and different for a rock band. Jon: What usually happens is I throw it on the table and we all Cedars'. Do you ever play that song as a band since singing it with pick at it from there. I think the inspiration behind this album her? [The Beautiful Letdown] would be real life. I know of a quote Jon: I've never played it since!

The film was a very different opportunity for us as a sides of what it means to be human and the positive aspects." band. It was really strange to one night be in a sweaty rock club And that’s what this album is about...for me this isn’t a dark and then the next night to be watching the movie at the Greek the­ album, it’s an album of hope that recognizes the terrible things of atre downtown in L.A. Hollywood and all these stars there and mankind and the bright light that there's beauty and the truth to people that I didn't know who they were but somehow they’re be found. Kind of the idea behind The Beautiful Letdown is that famous, and then next night back to the sweaty club. For us it was there’s truth and pain in pretty much everything we encounter in a really unique opportunity to have our music outside of the rock this life. I mean, we will never fully experience happiness in this club and be recognized in that way was really an honor. life. That’s something we’ve been talking about quite a bit, try­ Cedars'. Now that you have more opportunity to play in front of ing to figure out if that’s true or not....for us, it's about wanting to non-Christian audiences, how do they compare to those like the go to a home that we’ve never yet experienced and that longing one you will have tonight? and that passion for that longing. Tim: Being in a band for eight years, we've really grown up with Cedars'. As as you began The Beautiful Letdown did you begin our fans and we see familiar faces coming to the show every with this underlying theme, or did this evolve as the album pro­ night. But having a song on mainstream radio and with Columbia gressed? [Records] on board, we suddenly have a new audience that is Jon: For us it's more a season of our lives, and this is what we're mainly familiar with the new album or just the single. So that thinking about during that time. Maybe an album or two ago is affects the dynamic when you have half the room singing along, about a girl or this and that—whatever was the focus at that point and then the other half that only goes nuts for the single. And of time is what the album is about. That's the beautiful thing that’s something we’ve never really had before so that definitely about songs—that anything can inspire them. However, most of affects the show one way or the other. my songs are inspired by just real life and the nitty gritty that's Cedars'. Tell me about your involvement with DATA [Debt, Aids, going on every day. Trade in Africa], Cedars'. What is your perspective of your recent success within Jon: DATA is an organization about changing the world through the secular music industry? How has it, if at all, changed the the institutions that are already around. Their goal is to get the band and your goals? White House to contribute to what's going on in Africa. Bono [of Jon: I think the purpose of our band is that we've always taken U2] obviously has been a big champion on what has gone wrong ourselves very lightly but the music very seriously.

Our goals have never been numbers. I do feel like every citizen has an obligation. I mean, driven by fame or money or getting the girl or anything like that, for me it was really overwhelming when I understood what was it's always been more about our passion for the music. Our goals going on over there—basically thousands of kids are dying over have always been to live well and to play the best music we pos­ there and they are dying needlessly. We can change that; we can sibly can. That might not be very marketable or successful, but turn this around. I've heard a really great quote that "success is having the time to Cedars'.
