It was the tweet heard 'round the country after Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick's official Twitter account posted a Bible verse many believe to be in response the Orlando mass shooting. The shooting, which targeted the gay nightclub Pulse in Florida, has been deemed the worst in American history.
Patrick defended himself Sunday, saying the tweet was a regularly scheduled Sunday thing. But Grateful Dead guitarist and singer Bob Weir didn't buy it.
During the Dead and Company's set at Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival Sunday, Weir set aside time to condemn Patrick for his tweet.
"Tell you what, I want to ask a question," Weir said. "Is there a difference between that mindset and the mindset of the folks in the Taliban or ISIS?"
"The hatred and intolerance is the same. They may pull it out of different books but it's the same [expletive] thing," Weir said.

Another influential musician, Adele, also paid tribute to the victims on stage Sunday night, by dedicating her concert to all those involved.
