Billy Joe Tilson has had a great passion for government and the election process since middle school. He feels that the act of voting is an extremely underutilized tool in our democracy, and thinks that voting should be looked upon as an opportunity, not an archaic function of days gone by. That is why Billy became involved as a Volunteer and Team Leader in Knoxville, TN! Music is also a personal interest. HE LOVES MUSIC! So joining his needs to encourage civic participation in the electoral process together with music makes HeadCount the perfect harmonious balance for Billy’s soul!
Billy greatly enjoys the musical stylings of the Grateful Dead, Pink Floyd, Velvet Underground, The Beatles (however Colbert said that saying Beatles are your favorite band is like saying food is your favorite flavor...), Red Hot Chili Peppers, U2, The Smiths, Talking Heads, Dinosaur Jr, Bruce Springsteen, Prince, Widespread Panic, 311, Beethoven etc...
