Legendary punk rock band Green Day took a major swipe at Vice President JD Vance during a recent performance of one of their classic songs.As noted by Rolling Stone and other outlets, while playing “Jesus of Suburbia” in Melbourne, Australia, over the weekend, the band changed the words to suggest that Vance was “r—d.”“Am I r—d or am I just JD Vance?” lead singer and guitarist Billie Joe Armstrong sang instead of the original lyrics, “Am I r—d or just overjoyed?”The band’s set included several other political points, with digs aimed at billionaire Elon Musk and President Donald Trump, and a line suggesting their support of Ukraine following the country’s botched deal with the U.S. last week.At another point in “Jesus of Suburbia,” Armstrong sang, “We are the kids of war and peace, From Ukraine to the Middle East,” instead of the original lyrics, “We are the kids of war and peace/ From Anaheim to the Middle East.”With both Ukraine and Vance mentioned in the song, it seems that the band was commenting on the tense Oval Office meeting between the Trump administration and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, during which the vice president accused the Ukrainian leader of disrespecting Trump.The meeting grew heated between the world leaders, prompting Trump to send Zelenskyy back to Europe without either signing a rare earth minerals deal between the two countries as originally planned.
