Green Day Hates Trump. Are You Really Surprised?
"On New Year’s Eve, we learned the improbable fact that a trio of middle-aged, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame-inducted punks in notably well-tailored suits can somehow still shock and offend the masses. For Green Day, all it took was changing the “American Idiot” lyric “I’m not part of a redneck agenda” to “I’m not part of the MAGA agenda” during their performance on Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rocking Eve with Ryan Seacrest — a lyric tweak they’ve been using for years.
The ensuing freakout on social media and conservative news channels went on for days, with some commentators seeming to be downright stunned that Billie Joe Armstrong holds the left-of-center political views he’s been quite clear about for decades. “Green Day goes from raging against the machine to milquetoastedly raging for it,” Elon Musk wrote on X.
In the new episode of Rolling Stone Music Now, we try to make sense of the outsized reaction to Green Day’s performance — and take a look ahead at what it says about the role musicians might play in this year’s presidential campaign, with Andy Greene joining host Brian Hiatt for the discussion.
