Heard it on Fox News, of all places. 5 PM, local time -- I BELIEVE at the Capitol.

1. Is it RATM or just Tom Morello?
BIG difference (and differences among those involved...)

5. I simply can NOT imagine that they wouldn't put aside their differences and ALL show for this. n/t

I saw those guys when they were on the second stage. Their drummer has good foot speed and control. Their message is from the cloud beings.

But as it's from Fox... I'd insist on a blood test.

4. This is good news
it will spread the word and help with morale. Now if only they could get Rise Against to join them, since I know their fairly progressive as well.

6. I posted about it yesterday. It is Tom Morello, not RATM.

I saw it on the Street Sweeper Social Club's FB page when he made the announcement.

"Street Sweeper Social Club RALLY FOR WISCONSIN: This Monday 2/21 in Capitol Square - Madison, WI. Tom Morello w/Wayne Kramer and The Street Dogs. Rallies at Noon and 5pm! For more info text WI to 225568. Help rally against the radical policies Gov. Scott Walker is proposing against all public service workers!!"

7. One of my favorites.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=et2914h1E98
Transmission third world war third round
A decade of the weapon of sound above ground
No shelter if you're lookin' for shade
I lick shots at the brutal charade
As the polls close like a casket
On truth devoured
A Silent play in the shadow of power
A spectacle monopolized
The camera's eyes on choice disguised
Was it cast for the mass who burn and toil?
Or for the vultures who thirst for blood and oil?
Yes a spectacle monopolized
They hold the reins and stole your eyes
Or the fistagons
The bullets and bombs
Who stuff the banks
Who staff the party ranks
More for Gore or the son of a drug lord
None of the above fuck it cut the cord

Lights out
Guerrilla Radio Turn that shit up
Lights out
Guerrilla Radio Turn that shit up
Lights out
Guerrilla Radio Turn that shit up
Lights out
Guerrilla Radio

Contact I highjacked the frequencies
Blockin' the beltway
Move on D.C.
Way past the days of Bombin' M.C.'s
Sound off Mumia guan be free
Who gottem yo check the federal file
All you pen devils know the trial was vile
An army of pigs try to silence my style
Off 'em all out that box
It's my radio dial

Lights out
Guerrilla Radio Turn that shit up
Lights out
Guerrilla Radio Turn that shit up
Lights out
Guerrilla Radio Turn that shit up
Lights out
Guerrilla Radio Turn that shit up

It has to start somewhere It has to start sometime
What better place than here, what better time than now?

All hell can't stop us now
All hell can't stop us now
All hell can't stop us now
All hell can't stop us now
All hell can't stop us now
All hell can't stop us now

10. The lead singer is dynamic enough on his own, but the band is awesome, too.
Too bad they're not still together.
