The music of the Dropkick Murphys has championed the working class and downtrodden for 20 years, while carrying hope through powerful melodies and fist-pumping circumstances. Founder and frontman Ken Casey shares with Here & Now co-host Robin Young why he’s an outspoken critic of the Trump administration, channeling punk rock's protest roots to deliver a pro-democracy message.
