For 2013, The Human Race will continue the story, with the band being portrayed as a horse race with the masquerader portraying characters in each of three sections: the crowd, the thoroughbred and the jockey. “Each section will present a segment of the concept of standing strong, facing adversity, shooting for the stars and not conforming to society’s concept of the path to success, but to creating one’s own path to success,” says Richards. “It’s about being clear in the choices we make and creating choices that are specific to our own personal circumstances and not just being led by society. Society imposes a lot of choices on us, and we need to think for ourselves.”
