Excellent!!

So i'm sure everyone is tired of hearing me eulogize Rage Against the Machine on this blog lately but they deserve respect for their appearance at the recent Republican National Conference in Minneapolis. The plan was to play an unannounced show outside the convention but the local police kept the band from getting to the stage until just at 7pm when the license for the show finished. Unabated the band decided to address the crowd with a couple of megaphones and make their feelings towards the republican party and John Mc Cain well known.


on a side note i saw Chris Rock perform stand up in Dublin recently and needless to say he had some political points to make.

My 2 personal favourites being...

"John Mc Cain, he's 72 years old....72. You don't start no job at 72...The only thing you start at 72 is a sandwich... and it has to be cut up into small pieces"

"Is America ready for a black president?.....I don't see why not...We already have a retarded one"
