Yes, the song that played as Rubio entered the room, right before DJT arrived to sign the Greenland deal with Demark at the UN General Assembly was “Send in the Clowns” Unfortunate timing or epic trolling? One may never know. www.youtube.com/live/5fTPNJG...
In 1994, venues threatened Green Day over their opening act Pansy Division, an openly gay band. Even though they were just getting started, Green Day told the venues to fuck themselves & venues backed down Green Day had less power but more spine than Sheeran magnetmagazine.com/2009/04/08/m...
