I can't remember if it was a Twitter screenshot or not, but I remember someone responding to one of those "hurr durr look at this band becoming political" with my favorite quip ever:
"What machine did you think they were raging against? A dishwasher??"
2 of my favorite things to watch these days:
-reaction videos of people first hearing RATM or Audioslave, and
-bitter disappointment from right-wingers that somehow imagined 'the machine' to be the gub'mint
Not sure there are many musicians that could be considered more qualified to spout political opinions than the members of rage against the machine. Even if tom wasnt a honours grad in political science he would still be more qualified through experience and proximity to zack than most twitter posters.
He has been known to... rage against the machine...

A cherished moment

The guy was from Michigan. I remember, since I had shame for the idiot.
I think this might be one of my favorite things!
