Reunited Against the Machine

The LA Times reported today that Rage Against The Machine will reunite for a one-time show at this year's Coachella Festival in Southern California.

This news is only marginally exciting for many reasons, one being that the rap-rock movement is completely stale and out-dated. However, I will be the first to admit that if any band from that era made any sense it would be Rage. There is hear-say as to why the band split in the first place, probably the most believable being that MC Zach de la Rocha felt the band wasn't making the political impact he set out to make in the first place, and capitalize too much on an image that someone else was selling.

I'm curious myself as to why this is even happening, but it's great to know that with our country in such a state of limbo that popular musicians (other than Toby Keith) are making statements to their fans and the general public.
