..."Rocking out at Harvard University Athletic Complex, Morello's set featured a digital backdrop that at one point blasted the bold statement "F--- Trump." Morello made his stance clear when he revealed a message taped to the back of his guitar: "F--- I.C.E."

"Bruce is going after Trump because Bruce, his whole life, he's been about truth, justice, democracy, equality," Morello declared to the audience. "And Trump is mad at him because Bruce draws a bigger audience. F--- that guy."
...
The musician exclaimed, "In my home, the America I love, the America I've written about, that has been a beacon of hope and liberty for 250 years, is currently in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent, and treasonous administration.

"This evening, we call upon all who cherish democracy and the finest ideals of our American experiment to stand with us, raise your voices against authoritarianism, and let freedom ring!" .....(More)

1. Hell yeah!

I didn't 'get' Rage Against the Machine in the 90's... but I freakin LOVE them now! Tome Morello has a great show on Sirius XM...used to listen to him all the time!

2. To be truthful, it was just Morello who I think was solo this weekend.

Would love if RATM could get back to touring but I know that Zach got sidelined the last go around. Not sure their future.

Huh, Public Enemy was on that same lineup. Would have loved to have seen that.

3. Tom Morello is also a Harvard grad with a Poly Sci degree

So Tom is raging a lot right now. Rage on, Tom!
