Populist culture puppets paid for by billionaires’ coordinated influence machines. Aren’t they all now? Seeing what I see now, I’ve questioned every single band that ever rose to prominence on any national stage because we had a few folks from my local music scene we knew OF and met but they never played one regional nor even required gig locally and did NOT earn their local organic gig stripes before their rise to national prominence.
Rage Against the Machine allowed to exist from a few public park gigs to full stadium/record label signing tours makes way more sense in today’s hindsight 20/20 because I always questioned how truly organic their meteoric rise was. I really want to believe in Tom Morello being authentic but already I’m too betrayed by the machine’s mechanism of co-option to trust any manufactured rage against it that rose from within it now. IDK anymore and that’s the point. Anyone got a sanity check against me for this thinking?
But to be fair, does anyone know who’s on stage?
