“Killing In The Name” Rage Against the Machine
#killinginthename #rageagainstthemachine *Pardon my language. You guys have caught on by now that I like some HARD ROCK, but I had never heard of anything like this in my entire life. The first time I heard it, I sat stunned. Mind you this was 2012, after it had been out for 20 years, but I was very late to a ton of music. Listening to Zack de la Rocha scream this line was an experience I’ll never forget. I was immediately infused with a strength to take this stand. It certainly didn’t hurt that Zach has one of the best rock grunts in the business. I can’t even. See, Renée Flamand is a rule follower, always has been. She wouldn’t dare think this sentence, let alone say it, scream it, on the radio, for God and everybody to hear. I’ve had this clip for a bit, and even hesitated to post, because language, and my mother, aunts, uncles. Also, you know I don’t swear publicly, but I must make an exception. This song changed my whole perspective of my life, and reminded me it’s all my game. Mine. Good choices, bad choices….but I’ll do it the way I choose. I’m running this, and no one else, as is the case for those truly adulting. I even wrote about this song way back when. Truly transformative for me, I hope you enjoy, because my mom is going to be mad I’m screaming this, and she’s a feisty, Italian from Federal Hill, Providence, RI. I may actually get in trouble.
