Who are you?
My name is Carter Sutherland, I am the lead singer of alternative rock band Sea Ghost, and I am 100 percent juice.

Describe yourself in three words
Power Drill Operator.

If you could start one trend what would it be?
Having community activist guest speakers at music shows. I am working on this one for 2017.

If you could end one trend what would it be?
Sports not being cool. Sports, sweat, and gym clothes are all very underrated in 2016. Let’s rise up.

Should we stay and fix this planet, or find a new one?
Gotta fix the planet. Big corporations and powerful rich people created the myth that caring about the environment is dorky and cheesy but its not. It's the same thing with Doritos ... They are an extremely healthy food, rich in nutritional content, but the establishment says otherwise.

What song do you wish you had written?
"I Couldn’t Say It To Your Face" by Arthur Russell

What monster scares you the most?
Krampus, because it's so fucking stupid that I thought it was a joke, but then it turned out to be a real movie, and this has been an analogue of a lot of what has happened in the world this year.

Who in Atlanta deserves a raise?
Richard from Cookout. He keeps us healthy and in check on our fast food consumption and deserves more money.
