3 Doors Down’s Tribute to Dead Bandmate Overrun by Haters After Inauguration News
The Wrap ^ | January 13, 2017 | Tim Kenneally

Need more evidence of the rampant political polarization that’s tearing at the fabric of America?

Yeah, we didn’t either, but here it is anyway.

A tribute to deceased former 3 Doors Down guitarist Matt Roberts was besieged by critics of the group on Friday, following news that the group will perform at Donald Trump’s inauguration.

The tribute was posted Wednesday to commemorate what would have been Roberts’ 39th birthday.

“Tuesday was your birthday. You would’ve been 39 years old. To even try to remember all the things we experienced together……more than most will ever see. Good times, bad times…..always my brother. Rest easy,” the group posted to Instagram this week.

Tuesday was your birthday. You would’ve been 39 years old. To even try to remember all the things we experienced together……more than most will ever see. Good times, bad times…..always my brother. Rest easy. – @brad3doorsdown

A lovely sentiment — and one that was drowned out by partisan bile on Friday.

I came home to an empty house. Both my parents worked when it was considered shameful to have a wife that worked. The difference is when they were home they were parents, schools taught etiquette and respect, history so you took pride in your country, and tv wasn’t full of sex and swear words

It’s not really a financial hit for them because those who support Trump are greater than those who don’t. They might actually find themselves rising up!!

As our financial status as a country improves, I think, a few more will see the light! The liberals will end up looking like the sour grapes that they really are. Spoil sports.

The cretins are the fruits of decades of pubic education.
I hold pubic school teachers accountable for America’s depraved, ignorant and Godless condition. Teachers have been willing minions for their anti-American NEA union pc gods. Shame on all of them.

Yes, you were one of the lucky ones. I saw too many kids who were left on their own and got into a lot of trouble.

You won’t hear me disagreeing.

My favorite is Here Without You. I’ve had it on my Spotify playlist for a long time. My children were surprised I knew the band and liked some of their music.

Now I have to listen to it :)

GREAT song too.

I was in my early 30s when they came on the scene. Definitely still an age where you keep up with music you like.

ANY age you can keep up with music you like. :)

Of course I had to look them up. There one of those bands that you hear on the radio over the years, but never know who they are. Many good songs.
Glad there playing the Inauguration.

They really are fascists. They would if they could, but a Civil War wouldn’t work to their advantage as they are nothing but cowardly killers who ambush cops, unarmed people just going about their lives, etc. Scum of the earth.

They’re classic rock n’ roll. Southern boys. Brad is awesome. Kryptonite is their signature song.

3 doors down is great - Kryptonite is the most familiar of their songs.

Sucks that the hard left is acting like a bunch of babies again.

Their parents were also unhinged liberals that were raised by the 60’s generation of hippie liberals. It’s a continuous liberal cycle.

I’ve read some comments and they are predictably nasty and intolerant.
