Wilco on Monday evening released a new song called "All Lives, You Say?."
All proceeds from the track will go to the Southern Poverty Law Center in memory of Wilco frontman Jeff Tweedy's late father Robert L. Tweedy, who died earlier this month.
"My dad was named after a Civil War general, and he voted for Barack Obama twice," Tweedy wrote in a statement. "He used to say, ‘If you know better, you can do better.’ America — we know better. We can do better."
While the track was likely recorded prior to the events in Charlottesville, Virginia, the timing cannot be overlooked, as a group of Nazis gathered in the city throughout the weekend. A 32-year-old woman named Heather Heyer was killed while protesting the white supremacist events, when an alleged member of the hate group drove his vehicle into a crowd of people protesting the Nazis.
