[Warning: Language]

If you don't know, Garbage had its heyday in the mid-'90s with songs like "Stupid Girl" and "Only Happy When It Rains," as well as the theme song for the Bond film "The World Is Not Enough."

...and apologizes for her beach-ball tirade while arguing that Palestine's independence is more important than beach balls.

🤣🤣🤣
