Today, in honor of Martin Luther King Jr., the great punk band Green Day released an official music video of their song, “We Live in Troubled Times,” from their current album, Revolution Radio.  “Today we celebrate love and compassion more than ever,” lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong said in a statement that accompanied the video, which juxtaposes images of famed protests and moments of resistance and rebellion with images of a Trump-like figure wearing a “Make America Great Again” hat spouting hate-filled messages. The video also contrasts the March on Washington with footage of KKK rallies and closes with mushroom clouds and the specter of nuclear war.  And it’s a great song, too.  Watch it here:
