    People are used to musicians' "radicalism" being an utterly vague pretense.

        I mean RATM aren't, like, perfect but they're at least not ridiculously vague.

          I'm pretty sure the only wrong political opinion I've heard from them was supporting Sonderos Luminoso, which is like the only movement I will excuse people calling red fascist.

            Yeah they fucked up there, although they rescinded support. Either way, they do come off as a little bit fake-ish sometimes, better than other similar bands though.

              this is what happens when you play in Rock and Roll Hall of Fame combo groups a few too many times

          Somebody on the old sub once posted that when he first heard the Renegades of Funk cover, they thought RATM were singing "we're the redneck gays that fuck" and that's what i've been hearing ever since.

          Are you saying that the concept of covering songs by other bands is vague socdem reactionary bullshit?

          Renegades admittedly did have their worst recording of Ghost of Tom Joad tho.

          Spent a lot of time sucking up to the Bush's and Clinton's to do the Bill Gates style Africa charity circuit, mostly.
