dick the butcher
"let's kill all the lawyers" is a line from william shakespeare's "henry vi, part 2", act iv, scene 2. the full quote is "the first thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers". it is among shakespeare's most famous lines, as well as one of his most controversial, and has been used as the title of movies and books. shakespeare may be making a joke when character "dick the butcher" suggests one of the ways the band of pretenders to the throne can improve the country is to kill all the lawyers. dick is a rough character, a killer as evil as his name implies, like the other henchmen, and this is his rough solution to his perceived societal problem. there is some disagreement with the interpretation that one of shakespeare's sympathetic characters would make a joke suggesting that killing lawyers would make the world better.

davis summed up the band's label issues and eventual demise: we had no contract with the label the whole time we were working with them, and they were helping us start our career and put money towards a tour...we went back to the same studio and had this conversation with jay baumgardner, and he said he’d love to sign us but they weren’t close to getting contracts done. so we said let’s start recording and get the ball rolling, and we did, but then this contract got presented to us that just wasn’t fair. it just didn’t make any sense, and we wouldn’t have been able to survive off the terms. we went out and did a little bit of touring, and that got cut short because of the financing, and then we couldn’t see eye to eye about the choice to keep going. i wanted to keep touring, justin didn’t. he wanted something more secure, and i said let’s just play the shows because there were fans out there, but we just didn’t see eye to eye. i’m not saying i was right or i was wrong, we just couldn’t decide what we should do and we couldn’t be together any more. later on we had some more conversations that went in the same direction, and we couldn’t see eye to eye. eventually we just stopped talking. there were so many good songs that i want to get out there, but we just can’t put them out with that band. i’m doing everything i can to help [the songs] see the light of day through other projects.
