Rage is Good


Probably the most politically-oriented band to go big in decades, or ever, Rage Against the Machine broke up in 2000. Which is ironic, because they had their run during the relatively tranquil and prosperous 1990s. Morello, Wilk and Commeford have gone on to form Audioslave, but where has Zack's rage been all these years?

Well, they're going to reunite for one big night at Coachella, and thanks to the Lara Blog for making us aware. I'll be interested to see just how it plays out. Rage's music is a bit harder-hitting than, say, the Dixie Chicks or Neil Young.

Here's one of their better videos from a song on their last album, "Sleep Now in the Fire." It's actually quite brilliant. And yes, that's Michael Moore, who directed it, being hauled off by the cops.
