reminded me how badly i missed this guy. the dreads are gone, but the passion is still the same.

i loved how he slipped in the "illegal war in iraq by the bush administration" bit when he was inducting patti smith into the hall.

i would think he and ed would have a lot to talk about.

    I miss this guy, i wish he was still making music.
    Keep on rockin in the free world!!!!

    The economy has polarized to the point where the wealthiest 10% now own 85% of the nation’s wealth. Never before have the bottom 90% been so highly indebted, so dependent on the wealthy.

    I wish they'd had him sing on "People Have the Power" instead of Ronnie Spector, who couldn't even be bothered to learn the words.

    Hell, I would have been much better than Sammy, and I have all the singing talent of a wounded goat.

    Beavis: All my friends are brown and red? What does that mean?
    Butthead: It means that his friends are like turds and that they like suck.
    Beavis: Heh heh. Oh yeah. Yeah! Get those spoons out of my face before I shove them up your butt!

    i cant open the youtube links? but i am guessing that it is the interview with chomsky. the entire interview is on the "battle of mexico city DVD"... which is an absolute must see for all rage fans.
