"Jasenovac i Gradiška Stara" (Jasenovac and Stara Gradiška) is a Croatian song promoting the massacres in the World War II. The lyrics celebrate the World War II persecution of Serbs in Herzegovina.
Even though being accused of singing this song Perković denied performing it stating the following: " I have to inform you there are some innappropriate songs on the internet that are being mounted and rigged by some journalists to make me look like a villain. I am not in any way connected to that song." An organizer for a Thompson tour of New York City in 2007 defended Perković, claiming the musician did not write the song nor is a copy available on any of his albums.According to Anti Defamation League, "Various media accounts report that Thompson’s concerts in Europe begin with the traditional “war cry” of the Ustashe. Concertgoers, mostly young people, many wearing black shirts with Ustashe insignia and carrying banners with anti-Serb and anti-Roma rhetoric, often respond with Nazi salutes. Ustashe paraphernalia is allegedly sold at the concerts, as well.
