If you’ve ever listened to any Rage Against the Machine song you’ve probably noticed they’re a tad political, right? No? Is it not obvious? To some fans, still apparently not. Tom Morello thinks it’s pretty clear.
When a fan tweeted that he he didn’t want to hear “political bs’ when listening to music and that he used to be a fan of Rage Against the Machine until Morello’s political opinions came out, Morello was quick to clarify.
Scott!! What music of mine were you a fan of that DIDN’T contain “political BS”? I need to know so I can delete it from the catalog. https://t.co/AMpmjx6540

It seems that other RATM fans were equally as puzzled at the Tweet that has since been deleted.

What… machine did you think you were raging against? The busted up toaster? A faulty dryer? Did the printer run outta toner?

This isn’t the first time Morello’s been called out by trolls on politics, so sometimes he just has to reiterate.

And for further proof that this didn’t all start at Rage Against the Machine and obviously didn’t end there, his mother continues to still rage by his side.
