Punk band Green Day recently faced the ire of Donald Trump supporters when it changed out the lyrics to one of its most well-known songs during a performance.
Fronted by Billie Joe Armstrong, the trio was at a New Year's Eve broadcast where they performed their hit "American Idiot."
Instead of singing the usual lyric, "I'm not a part of a redneck agenda," Armstrong belted "I'm not a part of the MAGA agenda," during the Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve special on ABC.

...""Back then, if I look at a collage of one of those songs, it's become real life," Armstrong said and explained he wrote "American Idiot" about the Iraq War. "Without getting too political, it's important we look out for each other and show compassion."
Armstrong got worked up last year after the Supreme Court ruled to overturn Roe vs. Wade, ending federal access to abortions.
"F*** America. I'm f****** renouncing my citizenship. I'm f****** coming here," Armstrong said to a crowd in London. "There's too much f****** stupid in the world to go back to that miserable f****** excuse for a country."
"Oh, I'm not kidding, you're going to get a lot of me in the coming days."
Armstrong first formed Green Day with bandmates Tre Cool and Mike Dirnt in 1987.
The band's breakout album Dookie came out in 1994 and sold more than 10 million copies. Green Day was inducted into the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame in 2015."
