Artists like Billy Bragg and Bruce Springsteen have been releasing protest songs against ICE this week, and now NOFX joins them with "Minnesota Nazis." This is an updated version of their song "Huntington Beach Nazis," which was previously available via the 7″ Of The Month club and on their NOFXxX box set. It has some different lyrics than the original, including these lines that directly touch on Renee Good's murder by an ICE agent: "If those Minnesota nazis / Are so sure they're part of a master race / Why do they cover their white faces when they're shooting / Friendly white, unarmed lesbians in the face." Hear it below.
"As the owner of Fat Wreck Chords, the label that put out most of NOFX's material, as well as albums by scores of other bands, a lack of seriousness was a luxury he couldn't afford. "It's a lot of responsibility," he admitted with a sigh of relief now that the band has stopped touring and the label has been sold to Hopeless Records.
Eric Melvin is not here today with us because of the following reason: at 8 a.m. on Monday morning, after the final NOFX show ever, Eric Melvin's lawyers served Fat Mike legal papers accusing him of financial malfeasance. Ten hours earlier we finished playing the final show of our 42-year career. It was the most amazing and emotional send-off ever, nothing but love, family, tears and love.
