“It should be Beto O’Rourke’s campaign song,” Ness said of the track. “I do really admire Beto. If I was to pick a Democrat, yeah, it would be him. I just wish more people thought the way he thinks. I think he has the big picture in mind and it has nothing to do really with making money, it's just for the better of the country. But, you know, ‘Don’t Drag Me Down’ is an anti-racist song and you’re right, it’s just as relevant now as when I wrote it, maybe even more relevant now.”
