Rage Against the Machine's Zack de la Rocha was spotted at a march on Washington in support of Palestine, one day after skipping the band's Rock Hall induction.
TBH the line “some of those that work forces are the same that burn crosses” never made much sense to me because “those that work forces” is not commonly used (or used at all) to mean “the police”. It only made sense to me when I learned that the original line was “some of those that wear badges” but RATM’s record label made them (or maybe just convinced them to) change it because that was too inflammatory. I wish they’d go back to the badges line because that makes the meaning perfectly unambiguous.
