Hot on the heels of lots of people hating Foo Fighters for not being punk in the comments of our Nirvana piece, the multi-platinum rock band turned around and did something entirely punk rock, and admirable to boot. On August 30 in Kansas City, the WBC had called for a picket of a Foo Fighters show, presumably because they are gay-friendly (oh, and this video of the band members taking a shower together, naked, for the song "Hot Buns," which is awesome). But the Foos had a little surprise up their sleeves: they rolled up on a flatbed truck and parked it right in front of a line of white people holding "God Hates Fags" signs, and proceeded to counter-protest with a country song about acceptance.
