If this is the best FIRST can do it's in need of some big help.

And that's assuming people can look into his helmet or whatever and actually see anything, or understand the generic lyrics and actually find the reference to FIRST ROBOTICS COMPETITION. (Pro-tip: the word first is used for many things.) Can we also remember this is the man who appeared in "hologram" on CNN on election night.

I mean really guys, I come back to find CD defending the Black Eye Peas. REALLY?
I find it depressing that people who appear to be somewhat influential members of the community are acting this way. What were you expecting? You make it sound like the man made a choice to slap Dean Kamen in the face, as apposed to doing the best he could to work something into a very touchy situation. I would encourage you to take a look back at the spirit of FIRST, in particular the "Gracious" and "Professionalism" parts. Attacking a band, person, or entity for any reason whatsoever doesn't fit under either of those terms. Ever.
