There may be only 8 shopping days til Christmas but screw that theres a tighter deadline to deal with.
Join hands and lets help Tracy and Jon Mortar (via their facebook campaign ) help Rage Against The Machines, “Killing in The Name” reach the top spot on the UK Holiday charts..why? Well cuz its not about the band its about the message.
Tom Morello is fucking brilliant. A bad ass intellectual who not only throws the word fuck around more than Larry Flynt but also is the most amazing debater of our rock and roll generation. Rage Against the Machine sucks. Simple. But Morello, hes cool.
Now I have a funny feeling there is a huge story behind the why of why this is being done. A back of the tour bus bet but whatever it is.. it is. Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer is a hit here.. need we say more.
We are guilty of blind following, we take what were fed and make it AMAZING (hello GLEE) but OK lets see.. if I don’t want to buy into another Beyonces, Go Tell it On The Mountain, then… hmmm how can I stick it to the world instead?
Enter Morello to offer hope and options in a time of sugar coated bull.
Now lets take every angst filled kid with a ipod…who wants to say up yers Mumzy, and bingo were on a roll.
Were talking the youth we forget not all are happy dancing Muppet’s. Some are emo dripping, stud wearing black lined trench coat wearing, pasty white, black holes of despair. And some are the fluffy Abercrombie chicks who want to piss off their Daddy’s.
So why not.. game on
The lyrics really aren’t important. Its rock and roll vs Hallmark. Its doing it your own way vs doing it like you’re told.
As a Devils Advocate I am certain part of this game is to see if it can be done in the land of Dickens win or lose…….I love the whole thought of it.
