Dave Grohl and his Foo Fighters band
mates on Friday counter protested the anti-gay Westboro Baptist
Church, which had targeted the band's Kansas City show at the Sprint
Center.
“You have no proper thoughts of the
God that created you, but we'll be there to make sure you don't
forget when you haul your rebellious carcasses into the Sprint Center
to watch God-hating fools do their shtick,” the group said in
announcing their protest. “God hates fag enablers.”
The band pulled up to the protesters in
a modified truck dressed in fake facial hair, long wigs and cowboys
outfits to serenade the group with a rendition of Keep It Clean,
which includes the lyrics, “Driving all night, got a hankering for
something. Think I'm in the mood for some hot-man muffins.”
“Ladies and gentlemen, God bless
America,” Grohl said between sets. “Land of the free, home of
the brave, it takes all kinds. I don't care if you're black or white
or purple or green. Whether you're Pennsylvanian or Transylvanian,
Lady Gaga or Lady Antebellum. It takes all kinds.”
“Men loving women and women loving
men and men loving men and women loving women – you know we all
like to watch that.”
“What I would like to say: God bless
America, y'all,” he added. (The video is embedded in the right
