The best live performance I ever witnessed (and surfed on), was to Rage Against The Machine at Roskilde Festival 1996 in Denmark. I was 17-18 years old then and didn’t get much of his lyrics – other than that he was very angry on todays politics.

Today, I sometimes listen to RATM while reading their lyrics. Sometimes I meet people who like their music, but cannot say so – because they believe their message is of communism or something. After reading a little Noam Chomsky, after reading about Blackwater, after reading a little Naomi Klein – I can truly understand and relate to the anger in these great songs. And yo! Zack is not singing about no 9mm caliber…

“No escape from the mass mind rape
Play it again jack and then rewind the tape
And then play it again and again and again
Until ya mind is locked in
Believin’ all the lies that they’re tellin’ ya
Buyin’ all the products that they’re sellin’ ya
They say jump and ya say how high
Ya brain-dead
Ya gotta fuckin’ bullet in ya head”
