[...] Tom Morello “rages” in Wisconsin [...]

Get the youth involved and bring this up a notch. Rebuild apprenticeship programs and Job Corps, etc.

The more I read about the assaults(Wisconsin,Ohio Indiana,Iowa)on the working men and women struggling to raise families,and put food on the table,the more didillusioned I become.As I look back in my life I’ve come to the conclusion that I wasted three years of my life serving my country in the military.What I see taking place in this sorry excuse for a democracy turns my stomach.I enlisted in the military thinking I was defending the principles,freedom,and ideals of the United States of America.Sadly,I have come to the conclusion that this country doesn’t have,nor probably will ever have what I thought I was defending.I told a friend I was thinking about moving to a real democracy.He replied,what’s keeping you back?I replied my family and the fact my children had seniority at McDonalds and Burger King and couldn’t make the move.

Rock on. The revolution cometh.

Long live CANADA,and their real democracy!!!!

Don’t despair Bud. Many good people have served in the military believing that the cause was just. If anything, your life is more meaningful because you now have the opportunity to undo the wrongs you have unknowingly committed.

Some of the great heroes in history are military personnel who have turned against the machine. Witness the patriots in Libya refusing to fire on their citizens. Perhaps the greatest — yet virtually unknown — was Arkhipov — who refused to fire nukes against American during the Cuban Missile Crisis. His story was bastardized by “Crimson Tide” and turned into pro-imperialist nonsense. But history will remember him.

To quote Chris Hedges, “Every act of civil disobedience, no matter how small…nourishes our souls…”, and makes real change meaningful.

TAX the wealthy: repeal bush tax cuts…..

Why stand on a silent platform? Fight the war, FUCK the norm! – RATM

I know I’m not supposed to yell, but THANK YOU AND POWER TO THE PEOPLE!

Tom Morello is our day’s Woodie Guthrie!

A working class hero is something to be.

Thank you Tom, and thanks to the real people of Wisconsin.

The youth should be the leadership and the generations before them, their public servants.

Hey Wisconsin recall your gov. he’s defective.

I was part of the Lockout/Strike with the United Food & Commercial Workers Union in So. Cali 2003-2004 and Tom Morello and Serj Tankian played a benefit concert for our cause. Love RATM and Morello.

Yes, and he should write ‘THIS MACHINE KILLS FASCISTS’ across his guitar.

I fucking love Tom Morrello and Zachary Delaroca!

When Rage Against the Machine first broke up I was extremely dissapointed. I sincerely felt that I had missed my opportunity to see them live and experience Rage Against the Machine as they are intended to be heard, LIVE!

Thankfully, I was wrong… Coachella, Rage Against the Machines first concert in nearly 10 years. I have seen hundreds of shows ranging from (selected from my personal top 10 shows) 311 @ HOB Hollywood 98′, Korn & Metallica 96′, Snoop Dogg & Red Hot Chilli Peppers @ the same place RHCP graduated HS The Greek, Incubus @ Soma, and one of Face to Face’s last show before breaking up @ HOB anaheim. Out of all the shows I’ve seen Rage took the cake hands down.

I had chills the entire time Rage played. The speech that Zack gave during the lull in the song from “The Matrix,” “WAKE UP!” I was speechless and not suprised to see Zack’s photo and the entire speech on the cover of the Entertainment Section of the “LA Times.”

Here is his message, but before you read it close your eyes… Imagine the dry heat of Palm Desert, the sun has just drifted below the hills, Rage has been playing for over an hour and then the encore… The song “wake up” is being played as the song wraps up and prepares for the final SCREAMING chorus there is a lull of mostly bass and a little drums, during this time everything was dark except for Zack He read the following and finished with a very loud and passionate “WAKE UP!” :

“A good friend of ours once said that if the same laws were applied to U.S. presidents as were applied to the Nazis after World War II […] every single one of them, every last rich white one of them from Truman on, would have been hung [sic] to death and shot—and this current administration is no exception. They should be hung [sic], and tried, and shot. As any war criminal should be. But the challenges that we face, they go way beyond administrations, way beyond elections, way beyond every four years of pulling levers, way beyond that. Because this whole rotten system has become so vicious and cruel that in order to sustain itself, it needs to destroy entire countries and profit from their reconstruction in order to survive—and that’s not a system that changes every four years, it’s a system that we have to break down, generation after generation after generation after generation after generation…Wake up!!!!”

Only real on the top…

Harper is linking with Obama on too much for my comfort… Perimeter zone… Body scanners in airports. Don’t think Canada is any better than our American counterparts.

Hmmm, “Don’t Trust Anyone Over Thirty?” I’ve heard that somewhere before……..

Thanks for your 3 years. Sounds like a tight family, my friend. That’s worth a lot. And, you always have the chance to, “organize, organize, organize”.

Nice.

” the front line is everywhere!” ratm…..

“A working class hero is something to be”.

Indeed.

But some poor guy mentioned Canada as a model.

Canada is no model for anybody. Unless you’re a Koch or Stephen Harper.

Even on the basis of health care and human rights (eg Haiti), we are increasingly far beyond anything that anyone would qualify as just.

We used to fancy ourselves “between” the Europeans and the Americans. Well, guess who won?

Second-biggest country in the world, with all the water and oil in the world, yet we can’t even afford to feed our own people, or so our overlords say. Truth is, if Canada nationalized everything, we would become the next Superpower!

So you may say that we Canucks are in the same boat. Yeah, like Americans, we have all sorts of resources necessary to maintain a healthy population; instead, we ship it all off to Dubai and China. Like Americans. So I guess in that sense we’re alike.

The one thing we have going for us is health care, and on this score I’m willing to gloat. Yet the Canadian guv has constantly tried to eliminate this advantage.

“Why!” you may desperately ask. Well, it’s ’cause people like Stephen Harper would rather we be ONE BIG STATE.

You hate the idea? So do I.

It would even be nicer if he could sing on pitch.

I will never forget that show… Way back in High School my friend, a Peruvian fluent in Spanish ran into Zack De la roca in Spain, this had to be summer of 97, 98, or possibly even 99, had a lengthy conversation with him in Spanish. Nobody else knew who Zack was so they were able to carry on without all the fans rushing up…. Later on I was playing Rage Against the Machine from the top deck of a houseboat on Lake Powell. Listening to it just bounce off the canyon walls when my step sister walks up and says, “hey I know this guy, Rage, um Zack De la roca right? I graduated from Uni High with him in Irvine.” I couldn’t believe it, she actually had class with him. No surprise she said he was one of the more intelligent students attending University High School.

When you think about it’s no surprise Zack is from Irvine, Irvine is corporate America at its extreme. The whole town is owned by Don Brynn’s company The Irvine Co. This master planned community is so “pretty” and “perfect” it makes you want to throw up in your mouth. I worked in Irvine for 5 + years and grew up in Orange County, every year they kill the grass in Irvine just to replant it a week later. It’s so weird. The place almost seems unreal, it’s so controlled and so regulated you feel like big brother is on you 24/7 or in an episode of, “The X Files” or “The Twilight Zone”. It’s supposed to be the safest city per capita in America (or at least was around 2004-2006) yet they have some crazy shit go down. Like when Joseph Parker went into Albertsons with a samurai sword and began slashing people ( http://articles.latimes.com/2003/jun/30/local/me-slasher30 ). You can tell what land belongs to Don Brynn. Every single parking spot on his property is painted green so he can see what land is his from his chopper.

I guess a few good things came out of Irvine… RATM, Will Ferrel… Pretty place if you like everything neat and orderly. Everything is uniform and if it isn’t it will surely be corrected.

“Worldwide Rebel Song!”

IMHO music is the best reflection into the insights of a generation.
Want to know what is important or how they feel, listen and try to understand.
My kids turned me on to ratm, back in the day.
” No Shelter” is about my all time favorite in their repertoire.
Such truth and passion.
I’m glad for you that you made it to Coachella. My jaw dropped when I heard they were in the line-up. This year looks like a killer show too, I wish I could send my daughter.
Check out the JTMF ( joshua tree music festival) Smaller but
still out of this world / 3days of kick butt music. More affordable too.
I’m also originally from the OC. I lived in Huntington Bch before it went all stucco.
Sleepy surf town, cheap rent, lots of fun.
Irvine ” little boxes on a hillside… little boxes made of ticky tacky” is as you say too weird with it’s fake lakes and homes so close together, you could spit and hit your neighbors wall.
For Zach DLR to come from there is just the universes way of balancing itself out, evening the score.
Keep on keepin’ on JustinB.
peace
