In 2002 I was at the Reading festival and an American Punk band with Jewish and Mexican members sang "Kill All The White Men" and "Murder the Government."
No one lost their minds - NOFX were not cancelled - No one took it seriously - What has changed? NOFX are a better known band than Bob Vylan and 9/11 was less than a year old so the world was on tenterhooks
Are people just more easily offended now?
Prodigy took to the stage later that night and played "Smack My Bitch Up." - They are still going strong and headlined Glastonbury this year.
