Rage against the Machine S/D

Critics loved this band

I have no particular feelings about RATM but I enjoyed this video of a guy listening to killing in the name of for the first time.

You don't *need* to call me out, Jordan.

Capsule history of Ned and RATM -- warm July night, 1992, some time before the first album came out.

FRIEND: "Come, Ned, let us go to this benefit with lots of bands on it. Rage Against the Machine are playing, and I have seen them and they are great. You will like them."

NED: "I trust you, friend."

[at show, RATM take the stage and the entire crowd goes nuts]

NED to self: "My friend alas lied. This is absolutely terrible jock rock pig-headed fucking crap."

Further encounters with the group's work over time merely confirmed this. You are welcome to their idiocies. ;-)
