Rep. Hank Johnson (D-GA) on a guitar and carried out a protest model of “Hey Joe”, the Jimi Hendrix basic, who rewrote the texts to forged Donald Trump as a menace to a gun-swinging for democracy.
In a clip shared Johnson began on-line with a slight warning for viewers: “I hate it to harm your ears and every little thing.” He adopted with brief feedback earlier than he began beginning his rewritten model of “Hey Joe”. He stated: “It occurs to be a black music month of 2025. I’m pressured with a brand new guitar and with some ideas about that previous music ‘Hey Joe’ to provide some feedback the place we are actually.”
Whereas Johnson carried out the music as a part of a tribute of a black music month, “Hey Joe” was initially written by Billy Roberts, a white people musician, earlier than he grew to become standard by Hendrix.
Earlier than he performed, he added: “I am simply going to strum a bit of. Please do not maintain it to me.”
Johnson modified the texts of the next:
Hey Trump, the place are you going with that gun in your hand?
Hey Trump, the place are you going with that gun in your hand?
I am going by the road to shoot democracy.
You realize, I wish to turn out to be a king sometime.
I’m going down and shoot down democracy.
You realize, I wish to be the king sometime.
Hey, Donald Trump, we cannot let our democracy deliver you down
Take it to the bottom.
Hey, Trump, we cannot let our democracy down,
Burn it on the bottom.
Johnson has somewhat turn out to be viral for uncommon feedback, together with a warning from 2010 that the island of Guam might “tip and capsize” as too many individuals lived on it, and a speech from 2023 during which he requested People to “current a world with out balloons”.
