5 reasons why Rage Against the Machine should be Xmas #1
Thought the blog needed some posts, and this is a cause I care about. I’ve had enough of Smug Hightrousers Cowell monopolising the Christmas Charts. Needless to say I’ve done my bit, and am glad as anything that RATM are still on top!
1. Killing the Name is 17 years old. It’s been troubling radio stations since Joe McElderry was in nappies (diapers if you’re American). In those 17 years it’s never reached the top of any charts. Why should some lucky kid get the honour RATM have waited 17 years for?
2. It’s for Charity. So far the campaign has raised £40,000 for Shelter, and Tom Morello has promised (more than half!) of the earnings to another charity helping REAL young musicians.
3. It’s like punching Cowell in the face. Without getting beat up by his 8ft Bouncers. And who wouldn’t want that?
4. We haven’t had a good Christmas number 1 since the 80s. or even 70s. Before I was even born.
5. Did I mention e-punching Simon Cowell? He may even be pulling X factor off the air, which means a whole 2 hours a week (possibly more) for other shows.
So I’ve given you (well, Apple) my £0.99. Now everyone get out there and buy Killing in the Name!
