As if the warnings about major congestion are not enough, it looks like there will be more fuel added to the fire come this September 3rd. We here in Minnesota have been warned about the hazards of traveling downtown during the Republican National Convention which will be held here September 3, 2008. Employees have been asked to work from home offset the 50,000 extra people who they feel will b...

The headlines are among the most stark documenting gang violence. A Latino gang member, without saying a word, guns down a 14-year-old black girl standing on a sidewalk. A black gang member shoots a Latino toddler point-blank in the chest.For the most part, though, the role racial animosity has played in gang crime has gone unexamined, largely undocumented in crime statistics and often tamped d...

This week I really wish I lived in Denver. The place is going off as it hosts the Democratic National Convention. The Barack-a-thon is attracting everyone from Rage Against the Machine to the Cold War Kids. It's like a mini-Lollapalooza spread out over four days in the mile-high city. Last night the Sheryl Crow, Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds, Sugarland's Jennifer Nettles kicked things off at t...

My brother called me yesterday, about 1pm Denver time. He never calls me that early. "I got in.""In where?" I asked suddenly interested."To the Rage Against the Machine show." The other day following after catching wind of the music rocking the DNC this week in Denver, I called my bro, a fourth year senior at the University of Colorado in Boulder (take that John Belushi in Animal House), to mak...

(Photo via The Star Tribune)The Republican National Convention, taking place this week in the Twin Cities, is not going down as peacefully or smoothly for that matter as the Democratic National Convention. And this is surprise to anyone? After all, these people are behind the regime that took us into war with Afghanistan and Iraq.While the protests following Rage Against The Machine's concert l...

I have been very pleased with the progress of my legislation, HR 1207, which calls for a complete audit of the Federal Reserve and removes many significant barriers towards transparency of our monetary system. This bill now has nearly 170 cosponsors, with support from both Republicans and Democrats. Senator Bernie Sanders has introduced a companion bill in the Senate S 604, which will hopefu...

I'm back, bitches!So, prior to June 7, 2008 I knew jack shit about Rage Against the Machine. Sure, I had heard a couple of their songs, but...whatever, just another white guy trying to rap. But, before hopping across the pond for Rock im Park, a friend of mine told me that they put on a good show, so...About 5 minutes before they come on, I grab two cups of rum and coke, and start wading my w...

Rage Against the Machine are always ready to fight the good fight. In Chicago this last Saturday, that's exactly what they set out to do.RATM's guitarist, Tom Morello and singer Zack De La Rocha were at a rally for the Coalition of Immokalee Workers, "a community-based worker organization". The event was a protest/rally showing support for immigrant farm workers who pick vegetables for big busi...

This odd little commercial bit is probably my favorite Rage Against The Machine Track. As a soundtrack piece it was effective, but as social commentaryits bone chilling.There'll be no shelter hereThe front line is everywhere!The raw anger of the chorus is a brilliant reflection on our times.
