**Bush are always sharing, even the tour bus food doesn't go to waste. "After the tour is over, all the leftover food is picked up by an organization called Rap and Roll, which takes the food to shelters."- Lauren Spencer, Bush on the Road.
**Bush appeared on the Rock 4 Choice cd in 1996. This organization helps to stand up for reproductive freedom, encourage voter registration and provide a new platform for pro-choice voices to be heard.
**Gavin appeared on the 1999 cd as one of the many artist that sang in a remake of 'It's only rock 'n roll', orginially by the Rolling Stones. The cd (which was named after the song) was to benefit the Children's Promise organization (Children's Hour).
