Someone needs to rage against Rage Against the Machine. The only thing I know about them is this:

I'll Sue Ya

[Flycatcher]

I'm very worried about this.

Tom Morello is a very important person.

And deep.

He's in a band, you know...

[driftless2]

More-jello’s “sane” and “just” world? Gee whiz, I think maybe they tried that in 1917 and 1949. Something like 100 million dead under socialism. Shot, beaten, starved to death... socialism sure worked wonders. (snicker)

[ZULU]

Another one of the “usual suspects”. Perhaps he feels so compelled to support Obozo because he shares his fondness for hard drugs.

[DemforBush]

The thing that always used to crack me up about RATM was the way that Morello, and sometimes others in the band, would wear this silly little beret with the word “guerrilla” written on it. If you have to advertise you’re a guerrilla, chances are you’re not, LOL.

I was always less amused at their vocal support for Mumia and other assorted scumbags.

Here is a great vid by a creative guy who chants a satirical line from Rage Against The Machine:

"Everything for everyone and Nothing for ourselves - Rage Against The Machine.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GmXdq6qYJ2A Rage Against The Machine doesn't even know that they unwittingly made the BEST line of argument against Obamacare. The singer is an idiot if he opposes Paul Ryan.

[Elsie]

Maybe we are being too hard on him.

After all; JESUS raged against the machine.

Later Martin Luther did the same.

Colonial American chose to rage against King George.

And then a fellow from New York came along, raged, and got a lot of other folks to follow him.

Together; raging like crazy; they are now PART of the Machine and set to beCOME the Head Gear.

I was waiting for mediocre guitarists from washed up 90’s bands to weigh in on the election; before making up my mind who to support.

[Eddie01]

Here are the lyrics -

I don’t know Paul Ryan
Never met Paul Ryan
but was told to use my fame to lie about Paul Ryan
So I wrote this song to bash Paul Ryan
So my stupid fans would hate Paul Ryan too.

I’m a tool
I’m a tool
A fraud and a fool
I want an invite to a party where the people are cool

[tanknetter]

I wish they would really “rage” against a stamping press. See how far that gets them.

[a fool in paradise]

Rolling Stone, the Nightwatchman called Ryan "the embodiment of the machine our music has been raging against for two decades."

Raging about since 1992? Pfffft.

Meanwhile, the music industry BECAME a Lady Gaygay machine. And Rolling Stoned put Justin Beeper on the frickin' cover.

[a fool in paradise]

This made Morello mad. How could some "fringe right wing nut job" be so complimentary of his life's work? "Charles Manson loved the Beatles, but didn't understand them," he wrote.

FALSE. Charles Manson said in an interview that the music of the Beatles was the younger generation's music. HE preferred Frank Sinatra (although he ended up giving the Beach Boys a song they later recorded as payment for damage he did to Dennis Wilson's house).

[a fool in paradise]

"Chris Christie loves Bruce Springsteen, but doesn't understand him."

Or maybe he likes some of the music and energy in spite of the politics of the singer behind the song.

Meanwhile, if you endorse the politically incorrect candidate, you can be blacklisted by the liberal establishment.

[ridesthemiles]

If this kind of music is ‘mainstream America’, I am the Flying Nun.
