The St. Paul police should have known better than to try to stop Tom Morello. The Rage guitarist leads a growing number of musicians who have adopted an explicit antiwar, anti-Bush message.

The Guardian UK: (h/t uglycasonova) After police banned them from playing a political rally in Minnesota yesterday, Rage Against the Machine whipped out the loudspeaker and went a cappella. The band’s original plan was to play an impromptu gig at left-wing rally Ripple Effect. Sadly, the police had other ideas, leaving Zack de la Rocha to address [...]

Yesterday, a free Rage Against the Machine show outside of the Minnesota state capitol in St. Paul that was scheduled to coincide with the Republican National Convention—which is taking place in that city—was shut down by local police, who claimed that the band couldn't play because it was going to take the stage too close to the show's 7 p.m. curfew, and besides, Zack de la Rocha and his pals didn't...

Zach and the fellas are simply the shit. RATM have been a force in and around the political scene for years. Yes, they rock but they also give you that cold rock stuff. They have inspired youth to use their rage in proactive ways instead of counterproductive disarray. Their presence at the RNC most definitely [...]

It's shit like this that changes things. Then again, by Republican standards, I guess Rage Against The Machine represents those worthless community organizers they stomped on yesterday.
