FIRST TIME HEARING Denis Leary - Asshole • REACTION!!!

[@IzInAZ]

Apparently he took his young son along while doing this song and quickly got a call from the kids school after. The kid was singing the song and got in trouble. The parents come down and the teacher asks if either of them have heard this vile song. Dennis looks at her and says, heard it? Lady, I wrote it!

[@sonjaleesloth]

F'n Right! 👍

[@davehamer4964]

A few years ago I went to see Denis Leary promote his book at the synagogue on 6th & I (being from DC, you know where I’m talking about). It was about an hour long live interview and to finish it off he led the crowd in an a cappella version of Asshole. A memorable experience indeed. Joining a congregation in singing Asshole at the top of our lungs inside a Jewish Synagogue... 😂
