Question- I play in bands and was thinking of draping an American flag on my guitar amp. I've heard differing opinions about whether this is a breach of etiquette. Thoughts?

Possibly. At the very least, make sure the stars are in the top left corner.

I'm sure it'll fall under some form of free speech...but you won't see me supporting it.

And God help you if it falls off and is laying on the ground.

ETA:  What's the reasoning for draping it?? Why not use a POW/MIA Flag??

I'm not so sure that is a very good idea.

I would say to find something else.

You can do whatever you want with your flag.

Personally I would not do what you are suggesting.

Yeah okay it's a bad idea. Any ideas about what can I use in its place? I think you all understand the statement I want to make.

Slutty go go dancers in red, white and blue bikinis?

Nothing says, "America...Fuck YEAH!" like a pair of big ole titties.

The flag should never be draped or drawn back in folds. Draped red, white and blue bunting should be used for decoration, with the blue at the top and red at the bottom.

Make a thing of always wearing a hat with a flag, or a shirt with a flag every performance.  Sort of your signature for say.

That's what they make bunting for.  Also pleated fans

You can't get a Flag Stand?


ETA:


Or, hang it up in the background?

Paint the AMP into an American flag?

Wouldn't upset me, but you would piss off some people to be sure.

Try this instead. Be a rockstar!
