Default Critique of Pop-Culture

This is an awesome video that was created by a student. The video is created to the song "No Shelter" by Rage Against the Machine.

Rage is awesome. I love their counterculture vibe.

For more info about rage against the machine and Zach de la Rocha's anti-establishment message, please visit their internet website at www.ratm.com, where you can also buy merchandise online. All major credit cards accepted.

Ha. My favorite: check the "action" nav link - "Stay tuned for information..."

I'll be checking back daily to see what I can do.

A few weeks before their shows, they usually provide an ACTION link to ticketmaster, where you can buy their tickets for $65 plus service charges.

At the show you can buy more merch.

We need more political bands like rage.

Raise up your ear, I'll drop the style and clear
It's the beats and the lyrics they fear
The rage is relentless
We need a movement with a quickness
You are the witness of change
And to counteract
We gotta take the power back!

It is hypocrisy. That is what the creator of the video basically said. Rage always put up a front of anti-government and anti-capitalism. Whatever floats their damn boat. They are still signed on a major record label.

Whatever happened to the real activists like Angela Davis? Mr. X is dead, Rosa is dead, Nelson is just too damn old to speak a coherent sentence. I mean no disrespect but if we are going to have activists...we need real ones.

Yes, it is annoying when people pretend to be something they are not.

It is sad because I know you like good music and you seemed to be somewhat normal, but your bizarre behavior has made it impossible for me to ever want to make out with you, let alone go to a local show here in LA.

Now enough nonsense and be gone. Have a little dignity and self-respect.
