Wow. Tom Morello: Fuck Yeah!

[tishaLA]

I've never listened to Rage Against the Machine, but I knew a little bit about their activism (especially here in LA). Mr Morello is on Real Time and he's kicking ass. Really smart guy.

He said, like Obama I'm half Kenyan; like Obama, I grew up in Illinois; like Obama, I went to Harvard; and like Obama, I was on the cover of Rolling Stone. But this guy sounds a hell of a lot more like Elizabeth Warren than he does like Pres Obama.

[H2O Man]

1. Rexcommended.

My son and I are really enjoying the show. Tom M is outstanding!

[rhett o rick]

16. Agree, also rec. nm

[spanone]

3. a smart man and a hell of a shredder

[eleny]

4. Also - Until the 1960s lynching was a spectator sport

Morello wasn't mincing words.

This was one of the best Real time shows since Maher had Cornell West & Mos Def as guests who just about took over the show and made it a great night.

[Bluenorthwest]

5. Morello is great, Rage Against the Machine is great

his solo stuff is great.

[Mira]

6. He was wonderful. A breath of fresh air and great support to Maher and Moore. Good show. n/t

[flvegan]

7. And Morello et al shut down Wall Street some time ago.

With the help of Michael Moore.

[LeftyMom]

12. And he played at the Wisconsin state house protest. nt

[flvegan]

17. Wish I knew what "Ignored" here said.

:rofl:

[dana_b]

18. "and he played at the Wisconsin state house protest"

;)

[flvegan]

19. "Ignored" obviously might have his/her chops together.

Maybe I should take them off my list.

[LeftyMom]

21. I said "the secret ingredient in my seitan recipe is chicken broth."

It's a good thing you can't see that. :P

[flvegan]

23. That's just hateful.

I mean, if I could see it.

[LeftyMom]

25. It's a good thing you have me on ignore. nt

[flvegan]

26. As I should.

You know that every time a response is posted to this thread, it kicks it to the top, right? So stop it. Or don't. Or whatever, cuz I'm not reading it "Ignored"

[LeftyMom]

27. You may be onto my secret plan. So here's a link to the Wisconsin demo thing:

32. Isn't Wisconsin the "cheese" state? So un-vegan of you.

*snort*
Kick it to the top.

[dana_b]

10. he's not only talented and very smart,

but he has a heart of gold too. His new album, World Wide Rebel Songs, is great too. :)

[whatchamacallit]

11. Tom needs to clip his strings at the peg post

all that extra shit flopping around on the headstock drives me nuts...

[NightWatcher]

13. Go download his One Man Revolution

The Road I Must Travel is another favorite:

A genius, in so many ways!

[KT2000]

15. He is great!

No mincing words with him - he needs to be on more shows.
Loved how Michael Moore and the senator were looking at him too.

[Recursion]

20. His father was Kenya's ambassador to the UN

neat bit of trivia there

[dana_b]

24. and his uncle was Jomo Kenyatta

the first president of Kenya. super neat!! B-)

[Initech]

22. I saw RATM at the end of July in one of the best concerts I've ever been to.

Muse and Rise Against were also on the bill, it was stupefyingly a good show.

[white_wolf]

28. Grr. You saw Rise Against and RATM, both?

I am so jealous. Rise Against is my favorite band. I hope you enjoyed it.

[LeftyMom]

29. XemaSab and I were going to go, but we had a sudden and tragic attack of brokeness.

I saw Rise Against and Bad Religion back in April though, and that was awesome as fuck*.

*Technical term.

[flvegan]

31. Another Rise Against Fan.

Welcome to my friend list.

[white_wolf]

33. I love their new song "Disparity by Design"

It really seems to describe our current mess.

[flvegan]

34. Those lyrics are quite timely and appropriate.

I love it too.

[proud patriot]

41. love them too in fact I'm wearing their shirt today

got it when I got my Dropkick murphy's tee

[Initech]

35. Like I said - one of the best I've ever been to.

Muse was stupefyingly good, Rise Against was a damn impressive opener, and Rage was incredible.

[ellisonz]

36. I'll have to watch some Real Time.

Morello is genius on a guitar.

[seaglass]

37. Thanks for this! Love him, can't wait to watch this! n/t

[seaglass]

38. Kicking for more visibility. Watching this on the re-run and Morello is
