Rage Against the Machine guitarist and civil rights campaigner Tom Morello has slammed US vice-presidential hopeful Paul Ryan after the politician said he was a big fan of the band. Morello says: “I see that Ryan has a whole lotta ‘rage’ in him: A rage against women, a rage against immigrants, a rage against workers, a rage against gays, a rage against the poor, a rage against the environment. Basically the only thing he’s not raging against is the privileged elite he’s grovelling in front of for campaign contributions. Maybe Rage did plant some sensible ideas in this extreme fringe right wing nut job. Maybe he’ll fill Guantanamo Bay with the corporate criminals that are funding his campaign – and then torture them with Rage music 24/7. That’s one possibility. But I’m not betting on it.” [Rolling Stone]
