2020-06-17 | 50K people sign Change.org petition to replace statue with Gwar frontman

' Ralph Northam ordered the statue to be removed, but a lawsuit filed last week has put a wrench in the plans. '

'They want a statue of heavy metal. '

'More than 50,000 people have signed a petition to replace Richmond, Virginia’s statue of Robert E. Lee with a memorial to the late frontman of heavy metal band GWAR.“Robert E. Lee is a failed war general that supported a racist cause. '

'Oderus Urungus, an intergalactic barbarian and the lead singer of GWAR, was portrayed by Richmond musician Dave Brockie, who started the band in 1984. '

'The band appears to support the petition, releasing a video of drummer Jizmak Da Gusha admiring the statue of the Confederate general — which was covered in graffiti during the last three weeks of Black Lives Matter protests. '
