Green Day drew controversy among conservatives during their first U.S. gig this week after changing a lyric to anti-MAGA.
I don’t really see the controversy honestly. Band modifies their own lyrics in a way magas don’t like. Magas whine like the snowflakes they are, rest of world shrugs. (And I think they have done this at least one other time recently.)
I was kind of amazed that neither this Dropkick Murphy’s speech nor this Dropkick Murphy’s album, nor especially this song from that album, seems to have generated any anger from that crowd. They seem like exactly the sort of band that magas might just have assumed were “on their side.”
I’m not sure the Dropkick Murphy’s are a band most folks have ever heard of. I think the only song of theirs I’ve heard someone else play was Shipping Up to Boston. It was being used for a commercial. Great band with great music, but I don’t think they ever hit mainstream.

Fair point, maybe I overestimate how big they are.
Yeah, they aren’t a big name. They should be, because they’re fucking awesome, but they’re niche
Would recommend the bloody Irish boys.
