    Billie Joe has fans who are influenced by what he says.

    Billie Joe says not to be a cunt about trans people.

    If I had a platform like Billie Joe I’d say that too.

      Billie Joe is also bisexual so is speaking as part of the LGBT community.

        This is the same Billie Joe whose fans went home from an “American Idiot” anniversary concert surprised that he got “political”. I reckon there’s plenty of scope there.

          That’s almost as good as the people who drag on RATM for being political. But not nearly as good as fans shit talking Morello and telling him he needs to stick to what he knows.

            “You don’t have to have a degree in political science from Harvard to understand this, but I actually do” (or however he phrased it) was one of the best comebacks to bad faith “stick to what you know” admonishing ever 😄✊️

              For posterity, the quote (that I never get tired of reading):

              “One does not have to be an honours grad in political science from Harvard University to recognise the unethical and inhumane nature of this administration but well, I happen to be an honours grad in political science from Harvard University, so I can confirm that for you,” Morello wrote in reply.

                Fun fact: Tom has said this is the highlight of his career, over anything else he’s done professionally.
