Some Rage against the machine news which I'd like to put up here. I've taken it from wikipedia.
"The
Pinkpop Festival on June 1, 2008 they came on stage to the sound of a prison
klaxon, dressed in orange prison jumpsuits with black sacks over their heads, presumably in reference to the conditions of prisoners at
Guantanamo Bay. They remained silent onstage for around a minute until being led to their instruments and performing their opening song,
Bombtrack, still in the prison outfits.
Zack de la Rocha also repeated his 'trial George Bush for war crimes' speech during the song "Wake Up", but also cited
Tony Blair as a criminal, telling the crowd:
"Last April I came over and said a few things. And the next day
Rupert Murdoch's Fox News ran a piece on us saying that I said the President should be assassinated. I need to reframe what we said so that a band can stand up and tell the truth. What we said is that President Bush and the whole administration should be brought in front of a trial for War Crimes and hung. And based on all the news we saw of all of you marching in the street before the war makes me think that Tony Blair should be right up alongside him.
"This made me think what are they so afraid of? Are they afraid, really afraid, of four musicians from Los Angeles who speak their minds? I don't think so. You wanna know what the fuck they're so afraid of? They're scared of you. They're scared 'cause they know that if they don't start pulling all those troops out of Iraq, all those poor soldiers left in the desert to die, that you might go and start some shit in the streets, that you might stop working, that you might get together and organize a strike to stop them from ever invading another country again. That's what they're scared of."
I have picked up sonic unleashed and holding off on playing it for a while. Although from what I hear from the community here, that it's bout 7/10. That's good enough for me. 360 version by the way.
Other than that..It's December 2nd and no snow yet. Wow!
