But I like RATM.

And I do believe “hackney” or maybe “hackneed” is the name of my next band. Probably “hackney.” Oh yes.

Thank god, too. Those more doltish in the audience claimed it happened on 9/11, but those of us in the know are aware that irony will never die. Thank god, too.

And besides, bottling your rage in palatable little bits is only really going to be effective to the teenagers that live under mom's wing out in the burbs. Having actual responsibilities allows one the ability to see directly through that horseshit posture. You can be your own person and be on a major, but I agree that Anti-Flag's posture isn't doing that, nor Rage's for that matter. For some reason though, I kind of like Rage sometimes. I just like that basic, plodding root-level Sabbath beat, even if it is over simplified and admittedly fairly weak. Ah well. Off to the confessional with me...
