Tom and folks like him are way more concerned with the trappings of being famous than they are with actual workers gaining actual rights as evidenced by shitting on a local business because the business was already at capacity and didn’t make room for his “fame.”
He didn’t even do any research on the business before labelling them anti-worker when what they really were were anti-special-treatment-for-famous-people.
You would think Tom Morello of RATM would be on board.
According to that article, he and the owner of the business patched things up and reached a positive resolution. Continuing to be mad about it 10 years later, particularly when no one involved actually cares, is the most terminally online behaviour. Switch off the phone, go outside and breathe some fresh air.
In U.S., A's for apathyNot bullshit democracy
Red white and blue is all you see
But does it mean you're really free?In U.S., A's for anarchyNot bullshit democracy
I want total liberty
I want peace and anarchy
They tell us how to act and be
Fuck that mental slavery
With standards and authority
How can you think you're really free?
Be proud that you're a white Amerikkkan
Blonde hair, blue eyes - a fine new aryan
Supremacy's the white man's burden
A final solution for the new aryans
Death to the nazis and the ku klux klan!
Anarchy in the fatherland!
Anarchy for the new aryans
No master race is gonna rule this land!
Neworder?
No order!
Neworder?
No order!
Disorder!
Disorder now!
Now
I’ve never heard soft but I’ve heard hypocritical. Tom morello comes from a wealthy background and went to Harvard, the band censored themselves on tv when asked to do so, they live in gated communities and run elbows with the people who run the machine they are raging against, and they came out and supported Hillary Clinton (who is the definition of the machine). Myself and others aren’t saying they should’ve supported trump (who is also apart of the machine), but they should have called for more grassroots political candidates and supported them.
Sorry I’m just replying to the bait you put in the first sentence of your comment.
Have fun hanging out with 90s finance bros in the pit while they complain about ratm being too political while sipping their 20 dollar beers
My point is their message definitely has less.meaning when its wrapped in Pepsi and hand sanitizer ads the only people who can afford to pay for it are apathetic die hard fans who are conditioned to ignore the hypocracy and rich assholes who want a night out to say they saw this band before they died.
I was invited to this by one of those die hard fans who bought an extra ticket. The entire experience was absolutely disgusting.
No, I’m replying to your reference to an irrelevant band who sold their image warner bros and perpetuates all of this through continuing to tour under these conditions.

People say RATM went soft? I know this isn’t the point of your reply but why do people say that?
Probably the people who paid attention to jackholes like Tom Morello walk around shitting on local businesses because “don’t you know who I am.”

So yeah, soft.

With all due respect, what reality do you exist in?
