He wrote about the one RATM concert I ever attended at the DNC in 2000: It was [August] of 2000 and the Democratic National Convention was being held at the famed Staples Center, in Los Angeles, Ca. On the other side of the fence, Rage Against The Machine was scheduled to perform a free show that evening, and before you knew it, over 250,000 people had gathered to proclaim their right to say whatever the fuck was on their minds. I was one of them. Those previous shows were about to culminate into one giant “this is it” at the DNC, and it was to that night to which I traced my confidence and energy.

That was in August. Either way, great writing. Re-reading this, I realized that the DNC was not held in June. That was in August. Either way, great writing.

Dude, I won't even read reviews written by people who aren't true Rage heads...cuz they just kill my buzz! Yes, the sound was a little crappy in the beginning, and the only way you would notice is if you were further away (as I was). What irritated me was the fact that I could hear this deep house music from that globe. Pissed me off. But Rage, Rage was beautiful. Worth every freakin overpriced penny and hours of sitting in a dusty ass parking lot. The best songs for me, I think...Know Your Enemy (I missed Maynard tho), Renegades of Funk, Calm Like A Bomb, People of the Sun. They just mowed through their set, playing one song after another. Brilliant. I give you props for braving the pit...I knew I couldn't do it. I get all panicky. I had a real shitty view, but it was still awesome. Are you going to Rock the Bells? See you in San Bernardino! I had an upset stomach right before Rage came out, I was so damn excited.
