Maybe if guys like Morello got their wish and the system was changed that he wouldn't ever of had the opportunity to play in rock bands and make millions while touring the world. Ok Tom, if things were different maybe you would have been a welder or bus driver. Would that of made you happy?

What all these famous activists don't realize is the system they're protesting against is the system that gave them the opportunity to get famous/rich/popular enough to have a voice that normal people will listen to.

:doh:
 
Maybe the fact that he hasn't been relevant for 13 years.
 
Typical, successful lib trying to tear down instead of offering solutions to problems. There are problems, but what can we do to solve them? I don't see answers from either side. Distractions from the Left avoidance from the Right...... :thumbsdown:
 
He wanted to rage against the machine but had to become a part of it to generate income. :lol: :LOL:

I can't read facebook at work so I couldn't read the link in the original post...
 
While I am a HUGE Morello fan, I have to agree with the rest of you. His hardcore activism doesnt make sense. Even in RATM's heyday, I just didn't get it. They were on EPIC RECORDS for Gods sake.

Whatever. :confused:
 
Totally agree, such a immature idealistic train of thought. Like some teenager really. Irrelevant
 
Tom's just another brain-dead, brain-washed "victim" of the system that he claims to hate, but benefits from.

Honestly, the libs are very near to getting their wish of turning America into the 3rd world shite-hole that they've been dreaming-of and THEN Tom and his whiny-beeeotch bandmates will finally REALLY have something to bitch about.

Another ingrate who sickitates me is Billie Jo Armstrong. Would like to punch that little monkey right in the mouth.

Hey liberal/socialist celebrities... here's a new trick... put some of YOUR vast wealth where YOUR mouth is and throw it at YOUR cause(s) instead of demanding that the government forcefully remove some of my MUCH smaller piece of the pie to fund your GUILTY pleasures. You gated-community, ivory tower, red carpet, sad sacks really are pathetic to think that the WORKING public holds anything but complete disdain for your political views and activism. Now dance monkeys... DANCE (before we tire of your silly delusions of grandeur)!!! :gethim:

BTW... ever notice how the more politically active and vocal celebu-tards have seen their movies tank and their popularity plummet over the years? You'd think they'd get the message that people would rather hear political commentary and opinion from the family dog than someone who is paid to simply entertain. :lol: :LOL:

This +1000!
You took the words right out of my mouth.

RATM...fight the power but buy our records.
What a brilliant scam.

"Hey libtard , I mean comrade...buy our new record and T-shirt with Che on it so we can fight the system"
....laughing all the way to the bank.
 
This is why I never read political threads on Rig-Talk.

(NB - for the record, I don't agree with Morello's views).

Yeah, I'm new here...probably shouldn't have gone off like I did.

I apologize folks.

What's the internet for, if not for shopping and going-off? :D
 
NoFX summed it up for me beautifully:



We meet in underground parking lots
And late night in coffee shops
With voices low unless we’re drunk
We've got hats and cop sunglasses
We question all that is wrong
We discuss conspiracy
Are we enemies of the state?
Or idealist bourgeoisie?

I’ll get this one, put it on my card
I get frequent flyer mileage
And a booklet of upgrades
So next time I visit the third world
I won’t have to fly second class
The people's revolution is gonna be a podcast

We took the bus to the anarchist book fair
I left the hybrid at home
I scored an extremely rare
signed copy of the communist manifesto
We protested the G8
got maced by female police
In hot black uniforms and boots
I got one’s e-mail address

Still I’m waiting to see
if my bid on eBay was enough
To get "Today’s Empires Are Tomorrow’s Ashes" on soviet red vinyl
It’s going on the wall next to "Tubthumper" and "The Battle Of Los Angeles"
Of Los Angeles
 
Its just funny that for a guy that went to Harvard, he sounds pretty stupid..

Kage brother. The world is full of educated idiots. :doh:
 
Tom gets made fun of for his playing by the weedly weedly fan boys constantly around here so it's no surprise since this board that has a predominantly conservative mindset draws the same fire. I don't share his political views at all but I don't think he's an idiot or slam the guy by calling him a tool. I don't get the vitriol for some who doesn't share your political views or musical tastes. :no:

Really? I assume you feel the same way about the left, correct? Check their blogs. They say the most vile, disgusting, dangerous and downright disturbing things about conservatives. Things that border on treason. I hope their children die of cancer.........etc. and on and on.
Double standards.
