80s, 90s rock band. You might remember songs such as “Losing my religion”, “Everybody hurts”, “The one I love”, “Man on the Moon”

They made this music project in response to Trump cutting USAID funding.

    Pearl Jam played during the Kosovo bullshit, and Rage Against The Machine played in that ‘‘Free Tibet’’ concert along with The Beastie Boys and I forget who else.

    Edit: Find your band.

    And here’s Wikipedia with more

      I wonder why only one of the Oasis guys was there, must’ve been during one of their many fights. They have bad takes on just about everything, though.

      Radiohead also played in Israel several times and Thom Yorke whined about people criticizing them for it.

        They fucking HATE each other and only come together when they need money. I can not emphasise enough how much these two do not get along, at all.
