Take the Power Back: 20 Years of Rage Against the Machine Celebrated on “XX”

October 10, 2012 by Joe Marchese | No Comments

When current Republican Vice Presidential nominee Paul Ryan earlier this year listed Rage Against the Machine among his favorite bands, more than a few eyebrows were raised, including those of the rap-rock-metal band’s guitarist, Tom Morello. In a withering op-ed piece for Rolling Stone, Morello cited Ryan as “the embodiment of the machine that our music has been raging against for two decades,” affirming that “his guiding vision of shifting revenue more radically to the one percent is antithetical to the message of Rage.” And after twenty years of music making, that…
