Most of you already know that Rage Against The Machine will headline Voodoofest 2007, along with Smashing Mumkins, I mean, Pumpkins, Wilco, Sinead O’Connor and a host of other big names. I’ve decided to write Zack de la Rocha a letter asking him to create us a New Orleans anthem, what with our own rage against the machine. Result coming shortly – if we all send in the letter soon, the band may perform the song at Voodoofest. (You may say I’m a dreamer, but I’m not the only one.)
For, as Tom Morello said when RATM regrouped, “To me, it seems that the world needs songs of rebellion and revolution right now.” It seems that the world needs to keep hearing about New Orleans right now.
No no don’t smash the mumkins!!
Incidentally.. since I’m not much a fan of VooDoo fest, this may be an occasion to hold another competing Mumkinfesteque event.
I suppose I’ve got some time to work on that.. or more accurately.. time to not work on that.
Go for it, Maitri!
Jeffrey, if I had a dollar for every mumkin I’ve smashed, I could raise every house in New Orleans 15 feet off the ground. (And I’m assuming we’re only talking about the buckmoth mumkins. I don’t smash their friendly cousins.)
