I would imagine that a visit from the Secret Service might lead to an attitude adjustment.

Don't bet on it.

[cdbull23]

Shrug. Maybe their minds don’t work, but I still like some of their songs.

[cdbull23]

P.S. But I liked Audioslave much better.

[Volunteer]

It’s a shame they are back... I kind of liked Audioslave.... far better singer

I suppose we’d wind up arresting just about every entertainer out there.

Dang, I wish all of them would just shut up and sing.

[Moose4]

Oh. The biggest bunch of posers in recent musical history are back together again. Yawn.

Didn’t Rachel Corrie rage against the machine? One can only hope for the same here. ;)

[lovecraft]

Exactly, hate their politics, but do love the music......sigh.

[Moose4]

The problem is, stuff like this is all RATM ever sang about. The oppressed brown man, free Mumia, no blood for oil, blah blah blah. Literally, just about every song they ever did (except maybe “Renegades of Funk”) was a Communist political screed.

[MANO]

Audioslave is definitely better

[AuntB]

The leader, Javier Rodriguez, of the illegal alien marches today just called for the impeachment of Bush and Cheney on Cnn. And some want to make this group legal???

[HEY4QDEMS]

Same here, If I used politics as a criteria for what music I listen to, I’d have to throw out over half of my CD collection.

Stone Temple Pilots, Temple of the Dog, Pearl Jam, would all be in the trash?......I don’t think so.

Incarceration in a mental institution might be needed for these freaks if they are potheads gone over the edge.

I think Pat Boone’s still safe.

[wideawake]

Not at all.

The headline he would love to see and the Secret Service would hate to see is:

"ROCKER JAILED FOR ANTI-BUSH RANT."

So the usual visit - which would entail an agent, de la Rocha and de la Rocha's lawyer - would include a threat of prosecution.

To which de la Rocha would respond: "Cool! Arrest me now, I dare you!"

He’s right up there with Glen Campbell.

"They changed my life. They made me a liberal," said sweat-drenched history teacher Rafael Ramon, 25

Yeah a teacher that was made into a liberal! If this talentless band can convert a teacher, there wasn't much between his ears in the first place. Avoid any school this idiot teaches in.

[wideawake]

You might want to throw those CDs out and buy some with good music on them. :)
