Rick Roth I think I mentioned we already are starting Farm Aid. Both designs and what garments, because we are very particular further ahead, we plan the better ideas for some suppliers and for us. We’ve been working on Amnesty International’s 60th anniversary and we made some special merchandise for that. And then, you know, sometimes you wouldn’t be identified exactly as a cause, but there’s an altruistic element of it. It doesn’t have to be a nonprofit or a 5013(c), you know, tax-type thing. So, one of my most recent projects, I volunteer at a radio station — a community radio station, Cambridge. And I was doing a special show in the 60s group called Moby Grape. And they’re kind of the poster children of “We get screwed by the music industry.” They signed a terrible contract. And they couldn’t even play under their own name. At one point, there were three bands that weren’t even them playing around the country that the manager sent out and they couldn’t play under their own name. And a couple of them are not wealthy. And you know, they’re really nice guys, and I saw it was just bootleg shirts. So I made a store for them and it’s been very rewarding. They’re really happy about it, they’re really happy that it’s quality merchandise, that like 2000-person Facebook group has been very, you know, received it really well. And I feel like that’s going to help, you know, some people that really deserve it. They brought a lot of joy to a lot of people with their music. And I think, you know, they’re all in their late seventies and you know, if I can help cut them a little better break right now, that makes me pretty happy. I’ve been working on that and I’ve been putting a lot of energy into it. Marshall Atkinson That’s great. I love that. I love that. That’s the best way to wrap up the podcast.
