\n\tMargo Price<\/a> sure as hell isn\u2019t letting the bastards fascists get her down.<\/p>\n

\n\tOn what may prove to be the final Jimmy Kimmel<\/a> Live! episode ever, the country artist slyly changed the final lyrics to her song \u201cDon\u2019t Let the Bastards Get You Down\u201d to be explicitly anti-fascist<\/a>. At the 2:48 mark of her ABC late-night musical performance, Price sings \u201ckeep all them fascists underground\/don\u2019t let the bastards get you down\u201d rather than the original, \u201ckeep all them haters underground\/don\u2019t let the bastards get you down.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cDon\u2019t Let The Bastards Get You Down\u201d already had an amazing message tailor-written for this moment. The song, written by Price, is about the words of encouragement Kris Kristofferson gave to Sin\u00e9ad O\u2019Connor amid the backlash to her ripping up the photo of the pope live on another late-night broadcast program: Saturday Night Live.<\/p>\n

\n\tPrice\u2019s performance took place on Tuesday, the day after Jimmy Kimmel first got himself into some hot water<\/a> over a monologue joke that poked fun at MAGA Republicans doing all they can do publicly distance themselves from sharing similar political ideologies as Charlie Kirk\u2019s alleged murderer, Tyler Robinson.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWe hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it,\u201d Kimmel said.<\/p>\n

\n\tPrice\u2019s timely performance happened the day before Kimmel was suspended by Disney and ABC for those very remarks. As of this writing, it is unclear if Jimmy Kimmel Live! will ever return to ABC\u2019s airwaves.<\/p>\n

\n\tRead the inside story on\u00a0how Kimmel\u2019s Disney suspension was handed down here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tPrice\u2019s Kimmel turn was actually not the only late-night musical moment this week altered for, well, this week. On Wednesday\u2019s The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Marta Wainwright changed her song selection in favor of \u201cSave the Country.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cLast week, Thomas and I thought we were gonna do another song for tonight,\u201d Wainwright said at the top of her NBC late-night performance, for which she was accompanied by pianist Thomas Bartlett. \u201cBut we decided to do this one because we thought it was the right song for this moment.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tWainwright did not specify if the song was an acknowledgement of the early backlash to Kimmel\u2019s monologue \u2014 The Tonight Show was likely taping, or close to it, when ABC handed Kimmel\u2019s suspension down \u2014 or if it was simply related to the wave of division between the left and the right following the Kirk assassination.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Margo Price sure as hell isn\u2019t letting the bastards fascists get her down.
