Watch Todd Rundgren Premiere His New Anti-Trump Music Video on Fox News
Last night, Todd Rundgren went on the Fox News show “Watters World” to premiere his video for his Donald Fagen collaboration “Tin Foil Hat.” The video makes fun of Donald Trump, Steve Bannon, Jeff Sessions, Kellyanne Conway, and former Fox News anchor Bill O’Reilly. On the show, Rundgren explained that song’s visual was “pretty much only intended for [his live] audience,” meant to screen during Rundgren’s costume change. However, the musician began to notice “episodes in the audience where shouting matches would break out,” because some of the members thought the jokes to be in bad taste. In a recent interview with Variety, Rundgren warned Trump supporters that they might not enjoy his show because of his political beliefs: “If you’re a Trump supporter, don’t come to my show, because you won’t have a good time… Let the buyer beware!”
Host Jesse Watters questioned Rundgren during the segment: “OK, so you have a very provocative intermission video while you do your little costume change. It disrespects and mocks President Trump and people in the audience were getting upset about it, so now you’re saying, ‘You know what, don’t come to my show if you can’t handle it.’ Don’t you think that’s being a little discriminatory?” The two exchanged a few heated words before Watters debuted the “Tin Foil Hat” visual on air. Watch it all go down in the segment titled “Anti-Trump Rocker Todd Rundgren Speaks Out,” and watch the full “Tin Foil Hat” video below.
“Tin Foil Hat” is from Rundgren’s recent White Knight album, which features contributions from Robyn, Trent Reznor, Daryl Hall, and more.
