Rage Against the Machine came on in orange jump suits and black blindfolds. They looked like they were in front of a firing squad. They were given their instruments and exploded into high intensity music that they are known for. On top of the stage they had a message, "RNC Fuck You." They played all of their well known songs to thousands and thousands of screaming fans.
They came back for the encore and blew the roof off of the place. They ended with my favorite song "Killing in the Name." But then they did something that I never expected them to do. De la Roche told the fans "The cops out side are looking for anything. Be better than them, walk away." I have always respected RATM and now after saying that I respect them even more. They got everyone all fired up and they didnt want anyone to get hurt.
For me the message in what they were trying to say is clear. We all have a voice, together we are a force to be delt with. We dont need violence clogging our cause it only inhibits what you are trying to do. It is American to protest, and it is even better to do it without violence. They have the guns, but we have the voice.
DOUBLE L WARRIOR signing out.
