Media Watch: new inteview

Published today, in advance of ARW's March 7th performance in Tel Aviv, is an interview with The Jerusalem Post, in which Trevor expounds on the narrative of his musical career, his Jewish heritage, his desire for the band to play in Israel, as well as the origins of his surname.  Previously I had surmised it had been changed a few generations prior, but as Trevor explains:
“My father changed along with his brother, I don’t even know exactly when. We never talked about it, it was just Rabin and that was it,” said Rabin, adding that he grew up in a Reform, not particularly observant, household.
But in part that explains the previous confusion regarding Trevor's surname, as some have claimed he was born with the original family name of Rabinowitz - of course that proves you can't believe everything you read on the Internet.
