Rage Against the Machine Plan Sedition

Some new tongue-in-cheek news from Tom Morrello, the guitarist for the reuniting Rage Against the Machine, apparently they plan on overthrowing the Bush administration. According to Metal Hammer UK, which I read religiously for all my non-organic british isle hammer information, the band decided to reunite this year to overthrow the Bush administration.

We all loved Killing in the Name back when we listened to it on our CD players and/or expensive laptops when we were but young privileged children in high school, and I happen to love their expansive rendition of Maggie’s Farm, which I will recreate here in text for those of you who haven’t heard it.

While I would type the Dylan version like this:

I ain’t gonna work on Maggie’s farm no more. No I aint’ gonna work, etc.

The Rage rendition features Shatner-esque vocals that can be approximated using lots of ellipses:

I ain’t gonna work …………………….on Maggie’s Farm…………… no more……….. No, I ain’t….. Gonna Work….. on Maggie’s farm…….. no more……

I think President Bush should be worried about this. Remember when they performed at the NY Stock Exchange and made it close an hour early? Remember how Michael Moore got arrested for that? No!? Well then, watch this youtube video. Michael Moore’s finest work since Canadian Bacon.

Man, they rock.

Update: This is amazing.
