Smashmouth is an odd one. Cause their songs are oddly… libertarian? Maybe? But every now and then a pretty ignorant lyrics slips through and it’s like “what’s going on here?”.
Walking on the sun is a pretty good one. Literally saying, “The government sucks, fight back, youve done it before and deserve praise for it.”. And then the last verse is criticizing presumably black neighborhoods for falling into the crack epidemic.
Yeah, and I don’t know where they stand now or if they were all on board with right wing. I know the lead died recently, though. Looking is up, he moved to Idaho, which is kind of what a lot of libertarian Californians do in retirement, lol.

Of note, they had already distanced themselves from Steve Harwell (lead vocal) for being a giant shithead and uncontrollable alcoholic.
