Viet Cong Are Changing Their Name
Apparently someone who had a family member tortured in a prison camp in Vietnam got upset and a promoter cancelled one of their shows. Newsflash, America torture prisoners too! Should every band who reference America, American or the US Army also change their name? I don’t think Joy Division, Striknien DC, Agent Orange, Gang of Four etc necessarily promoted or represented the things or ideals behind their monikers either.
