In an exclusive interview with Fox News Digital, legendary rocker Dee Snider spoke about his brand-new novel, “Frats,” his experience growing up in Long Island, New York, and also talked about standing strong in the face of those looking to bully people for their political beliefs.
The former “Twisted Sister” front man lamented how too many people are “folding” to the mob, but declared that he “won’t do it.”
Before talking cancel culture and his experience pushing back against the mob, the legendary singer spoke with Fox about his new book “Frats,” a novel the singer released in early June that is based on true events from his life, events that would shape him into the outspoken rock star he still is today.

He added, “If you did something wrong, you know? If you did something wrong, you raped a woman, yeah you gotta do more than apologize, but at the same time that’s not something you stand strong about.”
He said, “But if you have a position and a belief and people come at you for it, everybody is folding!”
