Somewhat related to the topic, I just came across this article. Apparently, there are some conservatives boycotting Rage Against The Machine because they just found out their music was left-wing.

Right-wing fans mocked for boycotting Rage Against the Machine after realising band’s political stance



Apparently, this has become a source of amusement for some.

Ummmm..... these conservatives aren't particularly bright are they?

They probably watched The Matrix, heard the RATM song at the end, and couldn't see the connection.

I love this song. It is very emotional.

And there is NWA's music such as "£@%* the Police".

This song (if I recall correctly) was about Nixon, although the title of "21st Century Schizoid Man" might even make it somewhat prophetic in a way.

Where did you hear that?

RATM
Killing in the Name

Ha! One of the songs that introduced me to metal.

I avoided the song for years because I thought some of the lyrics were:

"For some of those that work Forces
Father Satan brought crosses"

Finally! It took fifteen posts before we see the likes of Woody Guthrie or Pete Seeger or the Almanac Singers.
