I guess I need to be careful that some don't begin to see me as a militant radical myself. I just tend to be more measured in my reaction to things and try to dig for the possible explanations.

I just really don't get it. A specific song for a specific event. How hard would that have been for her to do? And there is a big difference in what you might sing at a club and what you sing at an event like this, eccentric or not. I don't see her as a radical at all, but I do think she might have had an inkling that the song she sang might just cause some controversy and maybe even thought it might help her career.
I want to be radical for Jesus, but not militant.
