The drummer's response opened the floodgates for countless social media users who found the pearl-clutching on display both hilarious and hypocritical.
Tom Morello is baffled by the fear of political music exhibited on Fox Business this week.
The Rage Against the Machine guitarist responded Tuesday on social media to a segment that saw pundits decry Green Day’s performance on New Year’s Eve after the “American Idiot” band changed their lyrics to slam former President Donald Trump’s “MAGA agenda.”
The original 2004 song famously had frontman Billie Joe Armstrong slam the “redneck agenda” of former President George W. Bush and his invasion of Iraq. Fox Business pundit Cheryl Casone appeared not to mind the track — until it was changed to diss Trump.
“The original song was actually a post-9/11 song because the band at the time was upset about what was happening overseas in the Iraq War and all that,” she said. “It’s probably their biggest hit, but now, to change it, to continue to make it political, you’re just alienating people.”
Morello responded to the clip on Twitter, formerly X, with 3 simple words: “Is that so?”
