#2 These dimwits don't even understand the Nazis and National Socialism. They are just throwing around words and think they are cute.

#3 What do you expect? These are the same knuckleheads who went to Cuba and orgasmed in interviews about what a workers paradise it was.
There are legions of the young and stupid that think they have a message worth listening to. It certainly can't be for the "music".
Even if their fans knew how big their mansions are, it wouldn't strike them as the least bit hypocritical.

#4 Washed up rock band jumps on bandwagon. Film at eleven...
Rage Against the Machine. Ha!
The only machine they'll really rage against is the ATM machine if it ever spits their card back at them because the account comes up all zeroes.

#10 Rage Against the Machine . . . you mean he's still alive? He hasn't had a hit since "Macarena."

#11 Rage Against the Machine. Ha!

Exactly. A bunch or privileged middle-to-upper-middle class slackers with pretensions of "oppression." I like their jams, but Zack's a pathetic joke.

As another rocker sang:
I'm the Man and you're the Man and he's the Man as well,
so you can stick that f*ing finger up your ass!

#12 You gave me fortune
You gave me fame
You me power in your God's name
I'm every person you need to be
I am the Cult of Personality

#13 Tom Morello is a harvard grad to boot. Pretty funny; just goes to show you can spend a lot of money, graduate from a big time school and still be a total moron. No Tom, you're neither Jimmy Page nor Woody Guthrie.
