So, right now there’s a controversy going on with Social Distortion because the frontman made an anti-Trump speech, which offended a Trump supporter in the audience, which lead to said Trump supporter flipping off the band for the next two songs or so, which lead to the front man jumping into the audience and punching the Trump fanboy. Let me weigh in some.
First off, no, I don’t think the front man should’ve punched the Trump fanboy. If I were in his position I think it would’ve been better to just let the Trump fanboy embarrass himself. But on the other hand, why would you go to a punk show and get offended when you hear something anti-Trump? You know, punk rock, a predominately very left wing and progressive genre. If you go to punk show and then you’re offended when you hear something left-leaning I’m sorry but you probably shouldn’t be going to punk shows to begin with.
