Zap2it: ‘One Tree Hill’s’ Sophia Bush talks ‘Gasoline Rainbows’: ‘Artists get the value of humanity’

When Sophia Bush and her “One Tree Hill” co-star Austin Nichols returned from their trip to Grand Isle after the Deepwater Horizon exploded and oil began to spill into the Gulf of Mexico, they found themselves disheartened… and then they turned that feeling into action.

“We couldn’t get on the beaches, they threatened to arrest us, they wouldn’t let anybody help with the cleanup, and they also wouldn’t tell you where you could go to quote-unquote train to do cleanup,” Bush tells Zap2it. “They were really trying to shut people out. There was sort of this overarching feeling of helplessness, like, how are any of us supposed to make a difference with this if we can’t get our hands dirty, if we can’t volunteer, you know?”

That helpless feeling subsided during a visit with Bush and Nichols’ good friend singer/songwriter Amy Kuney. “My dear friend Amy came over, and she said, you know, I want you guys to hear this song,” Bush says, referring to Kuney’s track “Gasoline Rainbows.”
