Raging Against the Rage

I would like to announce that I will be Raging against the Rage.

Rage Against the Machine’s Zack de la Rocha is encouraging fellow musicians and fans to join him in what he calls a “sound strike” of Arizona, in protest of the “new” state law requiring police to enforce the existing federal immigration policy in that state.

Well, what does that mean exactly? No music for you, Arizona?

…And who has jumped on board with this? That would be: Calle 13, Kanye West, Spank Rock, Tenacious D and Sonic Youth. Earlier this month, Cypress Hill and Pitbull canceled concerts in Arizona in protest.

Well, that really impacts me. NOT. Like I would be attending their shows or buying their CDs anyway….tell me again, who? It sounds as if they could all really use the free press generated more than the concert appearances anyway.

  1. Well written and concise, too bad you don't work for a major newspaper that wants to put out truthful news. Spectacle is all we get now days. Keep it up.
