Green Day Changes Key Lyric To Slam Trump During New Year's Eve TV Broadcast
HuffPost
The band tweaked a line in "American Idiot" during “Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve” on ABC.
Green Day tweaked one of their best-known songs to lash out at Donald Trump and his supporters during a televised New Year’s Eve performance on Sunday night.
“I’m not a part of the MAGA agenda,” singer Billie Joe Armstrong belted out during “American Idiot” on “Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve” on ABC:
The line is usually “I’m not a part of a redneck agenda.”
The band has made the swap before, including during the iHeartRadio Music Festival in Las Vegas in 2019, when Trump was in the White House. In 2016, they also chanted “No Trump, no KKK, no fascist USA” during a performance of the song “Bang Bang” at the American Music Awards weeks after Trump won the election.
Armstrong was even more blunt during a private party in 2018.
