Metal and rock bands have always been trying to say and do provocative things because it's part of their act. The only reason this caught on is because Trump is such a powerful media presence that anything mentioning him automatically gets attention.
The Beatles: "we're bigger than Jesus"
RATM: "fuck the establishment and state tyranny"
Twisted Sister: dress in drag and criticize the status quo
GWAR: mock executions of state leaders
Ozzie: bites head off a bat
Probably wasn’t the cleverest thing to say publicly, whether he meant it or not.
Having said that it was a complete overreaction - almost like he was cancelled. Kyle is just a dude who plays the guitar. Forget about it.
What an incendiary thing to say!
Can someone tell me what Jack Black said? I bet it was provocative!
Edit: Oh - Was Jack blacklisted for associating with Kyle?
Well, I guess those boys finally fell from the political good graces they so carefully maintained for so long.
Still, if Jack said anything rude about anyone powerful, I would like to hear it so that I can consider it in my future judgments.
Jack through Kyle under the bus to try and stay in the Democratic Party's good graces.
Now blame Israel too
