On a whim I p2p'ed a bunch of Rage Against the Machine mp3s. I remember when they hit and I was maybe 15. Seemed like good music then; blows my mind today. This was pure rock and roll revolution if anyone cared to notice, but it was the '90s at the time so... It's slightly shocking that they let these cats put out a bunch of albums, really without too many constraints.

I guess it didn't (doesn't?) really matter back then if your chorus is, "fuck you, I won't do what you tell me." How things change.

But it's an open question now, who is reaching these kids. There's a constitency out there for this. Could be anyone, really.
