[QUOTE="Little Cow, post: 1590499, member: 5507"] I thought they were more tongue-in-cheek than anything else. Their flag didn't hold nearly the power ten years ago that it holds now. In recent times, that flag has been used more boldly by people who hate for stupid reasons. I don't think it was sensitive people worried about the flag or the band. I think they were worried about those few in every public crowd who would use the symbols to encourage their own brand of hate. No one wants fights in a crowd of people just trying to enjoy a show. CR is probably having trouble booking gigs these days because of the ugly shadow of politics. Interestingly, did you know that the confederate flag was not seen outside of a museum for many years after the civil war? It began appearing more and more in public during a backlash against civil rights in the 1950s and 60s. it crops up when tempers flare and is used in marches and public demonstrations to divide us.
