[BfB(oG)] Ralph, B4BorG featured in great Rage video

[Jim Buell]

Anyone seen the Rage Against the Machine video produced by Michael Moore 
that debuted on MTV yesterday? I just took a look and it's 'priceless'.

It ends with Ralph saying 'If you don't turn on to politics, politics will 
turn on you.' The heart of it is juxtaposing identical Bush and Gore 
statements - 'I support the death penalty', 'global trade means prosperity 
in the future,' etc. while morphing, showing similar poses, etc. Agit-prop 
of the highest order. (Rage of course is the band whose free concert got 
tear-gassed the Monday of the Democratic convention.)

>If you can afford the download, I highly recommend it as
>it speaks to the billionaires' message (even if you can't
>always tell what the lead singer is saying).

>a cheap and easy way to give the B4BorGs some exposure.
