The long overdue and much anticipated reuniting of the band Rage Against the Machine has come to pass! Yes, this may be old news to some of you out there, but it is still good news to me. To this day I recall when Joel and I relocated to Seattle from Sydney, Australia in 2000 during the Olympic Games. Hell, it was a hectic move with so much hype revolving around the Games. Sydney is a great place to live at any time, but during the Olympics it was a bustle of activity 24/7. It was a fabulous place to be. However, in spite of the excitement of the Games, all I could think of was how I wished we could have left Sydney a month earlier to catch the final show of RATM in Seattle.
I have always been a huge music fan and have seen many bands in action but RATM were just one of those bands that you had to see! They had it all:
A social/political message + a HOT lead singer (Zack) + talented musicians = awesome band
Now they haven't made it out here to Seattle yet, but I am hoping that they will be hitting our shores in the not to distant future...or maybe I will have to go to them!
