To his credit he says he doesn't understand or listen to the lyrics, but prefers Rage Against the Machine as some sort of elevator music type thing, muzak.


I wonder what Ryan’s favorite Rage song is? Is it the one where we condemn the genocide of Native Americans? The one lambasting American imperialism?

lolz. I already cannot stand this guy.

[tttppp]

I like the one where they claimed Bush and Gore were the same person.

fake politician is fake

[TheTexan]

Clearly he's young & hip as well as strictly conservative!

[sailingaway]

ooooh, he's just 'so edgy...' and fake.

My favorite band is Rise Against and one of my favorite rappers is Immortal Technique. You don't necessarily need to agree with the politics of a band to like their music.

You don't necessarily need to agree with the politics of a band to like their music.

Considering that Tom Morello is a socialist, maybe they agree more than they think!

[Sola_Fide]

Let's "rage against the machine" by establishing a tyrannical machine over us to steal from people, make us all equal, and control our lives! Viva la revolution comrades!

True, Ryan is definitely in favor of socialism.

Not to burst any of your bubbles, but Rage would probably say the same thing about Ron Paul. They are pretty strictly left-wing.

Ryan can't grasp the name of the band could be changed to "Rage Against Ryan" and still mean the same thing. Politicians are easily the dumbest wankers on the planet. LOL!

Love Renegades of Funk. One of the best covers ever.

To his credit he says he doesn't understand or listen to the lyrics

That's not to his credit. It's not at all hard to understand the lyrics on the vast majority of RAtM tracks. If he can't understand the lyrics, he's not really listening.

For example, this track is basically a protest against the very kinds of policies Ryan has advocated for and advanced during his entire career:

Even if you never heard the track before it shouldn't be even mildly difficult to understand every last word in the whole track.

I was being sarcastic about the to his credit thing.
