    Anytime “Killing in the Name” comes up, I have to tell the story of the time I was bringing my oldest to his second week of kindergarten and he requested this song, which was his favorite at the time.

    I realized I may have created a problem for his teachers when he started shouting along with Zack “FUCK YOU, I WON’T DO WHAT YOU TELL ME!” We had have a little talk about not using adult words at school and how his kindergarten teacher really wasn’t the problem with the system.

    His second grade teacher, though… My son’s anti-authoritarian steak streak served him well, there.

      When I was in grade 2 my bullies would always make noise in class and our teacher forced the whole class to write lines because of it. I felt this was a deep injustice on two fronts and decided to resist, refusing to write anything.

      This kicked off a series of events that lead to me being brought in front of school board officials who made me sign a document stating I wouldn’t cause any more problems for the school. I merrily signed it and then once again refused to accept punishment for something I didn’t do, and they tried to kick me out.

      For some reason the school board was surprised to learn that 8 year olds cannot form a legal contract.

      My kids too, except it was Lonely Island’s “Threw it on the ground”.

      It was one of the rare occasions I broke my “Don’t laugh when they do bad things” and it encouraged my child to do it as much as possible.

      My parents didn’t like it AT ALL when I played that album’s CD as a teenager. 😁

      Didn’t CBS and The Late Show have the same issue?

    I used to like Rage Against the Machine until they got all political.

    What qualifications does Tom Morello have to talk about politics?

      “Who am I supposed to vote for? Am I supposed to vote for the Democrat who’s gonna blast me in the ass or the Republican who’s blasting my ass? Politics is just one big ass blast.”

      “It is a coast-to-coast, nationwide ass blast”

        Most of us live in the guts of the beast. Surrounded and controlled by its goo and membranes. Maybe move to the skin or eyelash. It ain’t bad.
