From Huffington Post<\/a>: <\/font>Punk rock band Dropkick Murphys is not happy with Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R).<\/p>\n

In fact, the band tweeted<\/a> its members "literally hate" Walker, who used the band’s song "I’m Shipping Up to Boston" as intro music ahead of his speech<\/a> at Saturday’s Iowa Freedom Summit.<\/p>\n

Until I saw this, I had never heard of Dropkick Murphys. I became an instant fan, even though Punk Rock does nothing for me. Dropkick the Fartfuhrer of Fitzwalkerstan!<\/font><\/p>\n
