I started out writing a piece on black heavy metal bands; which I will do soon, but I got sidetracked. It’s an ADHD kind of a thing that can be a pain in the ass if I’m trying to focus on something and have a deadline. If I have all the time in the world and am just going with the flow, it’s lot’s of fun
So, I started thinking of some black heavy metal bands that I like; ones that I have seen live and ones that I listen too. Then I went off on a Rage Against the Machine tangent and remembered that Tom Morello is a friend of Jim Keady, who ran for Congress in Jerseys 3rd district.
I love Tom Morello more for his politics than his music, and I like his music a lot; hard to separate the two really. He is also a great example of modern activism - see Axis of Justice. Here he is on Bill Mahr. On the Young Turks. With Michael Moore.
And his music. Sigh. His music.
