Dropkick Murphys Singer Tells MAGA Fan ‘Shut the F–k Up' at Boston Show: ‘There's No Kings Here'

Yahoo18-03-2025
Ken Casey, lead singer of the Dropkick Murphys, had choice words for a fan who wore a pro-Donald Trump hat to the band's show in Boston Saturday night: 'We're gonna play a song about our grandparents and people who fought Nazis in the war and s–t, if you could just shut the f–k up for five minutes.'
Casey apparently spotted the hat after the man insisted on holding it up 'all f–king night.'
He began his fiery rant by noting that Republicans 'all wear' a 'Chinese f–king red' MAGA hat that he believes is 'dying their brains.' Then, he continued, 'you've got the black-on-black Elon Musk, true Nazi edition.'
'Bro, listen, I admire your dedication,' Casey continued, 'but I will ask everyone, if you're in a room full of people and you want to know who's in a cult, how do you know who's in a cult?' He pointed at the man again. 'They've been holding up a f–king hat the whole night to represent a president.'
'This is America,' he continued, 'there's no kings here!'
As the audience cheered, Casey added, 'Anyway, anyway, if you mind, sir, we're gonna play a song about our grandparents and people who fought Nazis in the war and s–t. So if you could just shut the f–k up for five minutes.'
The band has been especially outspoken against Trump while on tour. As reported by the Boston Globe, while playing a show in Clearwater, Florida, in March Casey bet a fan in the crowd that his MAGA hat and shirt were not made in the United States.
'The reason we speak out, we don't care if we lose fans, because when history is said and done, we want it known that the Dropkick Murphys stood with the people, we stood with the workers,' Casey told fans at the show. 'It's all a f–king scam, guys.'
He also said the band 'always sells proudly made in America merchandise only.' Casey then turned to the fan and added, 'And here's the bet I'd like to make: If you lose the bet, we switch shirts, OK? If you win the bet, I give you $100 and the shirt.'
'It's made in Nicaragua!' Casey yelled triumphantly. 'He's taking the shirt off. We're taking crime off the streets.'

Trump Says ‘I Absolutely Love' That Stephen Colbert Got ‘Fired' and ‘I Hear Jimmy Kimmel Is Next'

President Donald Trump weighed in on CBS's announcement that it is canceling Stephen Colbert's late-night talk show — and the president is hopeful Jimmy Kimmel will be next to get axed. CBS said Thursday that it plans to end 'The Late Show With Stephen Colbert' in May 2026, calling it a 'purely a financial decision against a challenging backdrop in late night.' More from Variety CBS Canceling Stephen Colbert's 'Late Show' Is an End of an Era for Television - and a Chilling Sign of What's to Come Trump Celebrates Congress Pulling $1.1 Billion in Funding From 'Atrocious' NPR and PBS: 'This Is Big!' Jimmy Kimmel Says 'F- You CBS' for Canceling 'Late Show With Stephen Colbert' as Speculation Stirs if the Series Is Ending for 'Political Reasons' 'I absolutely love that Colbert' got fired. His talent was even less than his ratings,' Trump wrote in a Truth Social post on Friday morning. 'I hear Jimmy Kimmel is next. Has even less talent than Colbert!' The president then went on to praise Fox News late-night comedian Greg Gutfeld, whom Trump said 'is better than all of them combined, including the Moron on NBC who ruined the once great Tonight Show,' referring to Jimmy Fallon. CBS's move to pull Colbert off the air came two weeks after Paramount Global announced that it agreed to pay Trump $16 million to settle his lawsuit alleging a '60 Minutes' interview with Kamala Harris was deceptively edited. And the announcement of 'The Late Show' cancelation came three days after Colbert had said on his show that the settlement by CBS's parent company was 'a big, fat bribe,' alleging that Paramount made the payment because it's seeking to secure the Trump administration's approval to merge with Skydance Media. 'As someone who has always been a proud employee of this network, I am offended, and I don't know if anything will ever repair my trust in this company,' Colbert joked in his July 14 opening monologue. 'But just taking a stab at it, I'd say $16 million would help.' Colbert added, 'Paramount knows they could have easily fought it because in their own words, the lawsuit was 'completely without merit.' And keep in mind, Paramount produced 'Transformers: Rise of the Beast.' They know 'completely without merit.'' Critics of Trump including Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Massachusetts) suggested that CBS's cancelation of Colbert's show may have been related to the Paramount settlement with the president. 'America deserves to know if his show was canceled for political reasons,' Warren wrote on social media Thursday evening. Kimmel on Thursday wrote in an Instagram story, 'Love you Stephen' — and lashed out at CBS: 'Fuck you and all your Sheldons CBS.' Kimmel, host of ABC's 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!', has been attacked by Trump in the past. In an interview last month with Variety, Kimmel was asked if he was worried that Trump would start coming after comedians in the way that he's tried to intimidate news media outlets and journalists. 'Well, you'd have to be naive not to worry a little bit. But that can't change what you're doing,' Kimmel said. 'And maybe it is naive, but I have the hope that if and when the day comes that he does start coming after comedians, that even my colleagues on the right will support my right to say what I like. Now, I could be kidding myself, and hopefully we'll never find out. But if we do, I would hope that the outrage is significant.' At Thursday's taping of 'The Late Show,' Colbert broke the news to the audience that the show was ending. 'It is a fantastic job. I wish somebody else was getting it,' he said. Colbert also thanked CBS executives and the 200 or so staffers who work on the program. To the boos of the audience at the news, Colbert said, 'Yeah, I share your feelings. It's not just the end of our show, but it's the end of 'The Late Show' on CBS. I'm not being replaced. This is all just going away.'

WWE legend expresses regret he was unable to speak to Hulk Hogan before his death

WWE Hall of Famer known as Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake expressed some regret that he had been unable to see Hulk Hogan before he passed away at the age of 71. Beefcake, whose real name is Ed Leslie, spoke to TMZ Sports on Saturday about his longtime friendship with Hogan. He said he had heard whispers that "The Hulkster" had not been doing so well, and he had thought about going to Hogan's Clearwater, Florida, home to visit him. "I was going to try to go to his house a couple of days ago. My wife said, 'You should just go over there.' And I was thinking, 'Oh, my God,' but if I go to the house and they say, 'No, you can't come in,' it would have crushed me. So I didn't, and now I wish maybe that I had tried to get in and tried to get to see him before he passed," he said. Beefcake was asked what he would have told Hogan if he had had one more chance to talk to him. "I love you brother, and we were truly friends to the end," he said. Beefcake said Hogan's friendship meant everything to him and that he had helped him break into the pro wrestling business. He recalled the great lengths that Hogan had gone to, to be there for him in his own time of need. Beefcake had been in a parasailing accident in July 1990, and Hogan had made the trip to see him. "I was in a horrible accident and not expected to live. And he left his family in California. His wife was about to have a baby, his son Nick, to fly to Florida to be there, because the doctor said they didn't think I was going to make it. And he flew there to be there for me. "And when they brought me out of a drug-induced coma, and he said to me, 'Don't even think about it. Brutus, you're going to live.' And I did. And he was there for me at the moment I needed the most." Beefcake and Hogan teamed together at the very early stages of their careers. They were known as The Boulder Brothers at the time. He was known as Brutus Beefcake when he first got started in the World Wrestling Federation (WWF). The two also were in the main event match for World Championship Wrestling's (WCW) Starrcade in 1994. He was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2019. Hogan died at a hospital on Thursday, an hour after he had had a cardiac event at his home.

Destiny's Child reunion a reality at Beyoncé's final 'Cowboy Carter' show

Beyoncé has been touring for what feels like the entirety of the 2020s, and she's still finding ways to surprise fans. At her final stop on her tour for 'Cowboy Carter,' the pop star brought out her longtime bandmates Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams to perform a medley of Destiny's Child's biggest hits. The trio performed the 2001 track 'Bootylicious' and the 2005 smash 'Lose My Breath' to the cheers of Las Vegas' Allegiant Stadium. Rowland and Williams joined Beyoncé on some solo material as well, lending a hand for a performance of 'Renaissance' cut 'Energy.' The surprise reunion is the first time the girl group has shared a stage since 2018. Beyoncé marked the moment with a post to Instagram, which showed Bey beaming with her fellow hitmakers. Perhaps miffed that LaToya Luckett and LaTavia Roberson are never invited to these get-togethers, the president leveled a shot at Beyoncé around the same time that she was wrapping up her stadium tour. Donald Trump called for the pop star to be prosecuted, alongside former Vice President Kamala Harris and mogul Oprah Winfrey, for allegedly taking undisclosed payments to endorse the Democratic presidential candidate in 2024. 'I'm looking at the large amount of money owed by the Democrats, after the Presidential Election, and the fact that they admit to paying, probably illegally, Eleven Million Dollars to singer Beyoncé for an ENDORSEMENT (she never sang, not one note, and left the stage to a booing and angry audience!),' he wrote. 'These ridiculous fees were incorrectly stated in the books and records.'
