The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Please also avoid duplicates.

Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

There ain't shit. These fools are just lying. Don't forget "Disposable Heros" or "One." They've expressed their views on the military using their music in a negative way. This is from before the culture wars of 2015 began.

Their whole schtick is being as unlikable as possible, not sure why anyone would be surprised.

This is why I never purchased their albums. I copied tapes.
