I love Rage Against the Machine, always have. This year they protested at both the Democratic National Convention as well as the Republican. They did it at the last presidential elections as well. These are free concerts that the band puts on. RATM lead singer, Zach de la Rocha actually led a march in Denver this year protesting the war in Iraq. The band split up for a few years while Zach was in Mexico working with politicians there trying to improve their country. He is very active in human rights, he doesn't just sing songs about it. Well the band reunited for the elections this year. I have been missing them over the last 8 years (there last show before the long break was the 2000 DNC), there has been a lot going on that they can sing about.
They have a rough sounding name and their songs are rough, but really they are for the equal treatment of all people. This year at the RNC the power was cut to their stage. So instead of fighting or disappearing they just went acapella.
Here are some of my other favorites from them.
