What the hell happened at the end? I was sitting there listening to one of the best live recordings I've ever heard when some crazy bitch started talking over it. Someone needs to get fired.

He didn't do what they told him.

These people must had no idea what Rage Against the Machine is about or what this song in particular stands for if they expected them to censor it. Duh.

Rebellion is saying "fuck" on live radio. Oh, what a world.

It's a travesty that it took a 17 year old song to beat McElderry's drivel. I know this is RAtM's point, but it's just sad to me that this event is going to be an impossible act to follow.

As the best choice for raging against machines, I would say the song is perfect for the job.

Oh I entirely agree with you! I think it speaks perfectly for the surging undercurrent of frustration at the state of the modern music scene. But why isn't there a modern day equivelant of this? Sony only put their shit out cause they know the masses'll consume it, grudgingly or not... so they need to stop buying it!

They need to put their money behind the 'good' bands out there and boycott the big label stuff. Or if it's the case that the disenfranchised are just not buying any music, then they should start.

gotta say, the song does lose a bit of its bite after a decade and a half of radio play.
