Music Tom Morello Fans Wear Burqas?

Posted by Ezra Caraeff on Thu, Jul 12 at 4:14 PM

In our excitement to deliver you the goods of another awesome paper, we didn’t have space for Tristan Staddon’s excellent piece on The Nightwatchman, the new solo project of Tom Morello, former guitarist for Audioslave and Rage Against the Machine. Read the article here.

That’s all well and good, but look closely at the above photo. Is that a Morello fan in a burqa? Holding a digital camera? What the hell? Does that mean that Morello’s folk-jams are in accordance to Sharia. Click here for a better look.

It looks like Black Bloc to me. For those of you who don't remember the times before the fascist corporate state took off the gloves and started heavy surveillance of activists and jailing anyone they could call a 'terrorist' for decades at a time, the Bloc were an idealistic, occasionally misguided but ballsy and dedicated bunch of young folks looking to burn this motherfucker down and replace it with something run on other forces than coercion, threat, and greed. Signs are gathering on the zodiac: maybe America is turning back into America again?

the new solo project of Tom Morello

Um, better get the fact checker on that one. He's been doing the solo activist acoustic guitar thing for a while now, and I'm not talking just last year either.

Billy Bragg he ain't.

it looks like the man in the burqa, and another fellow wearing a bandanna over his mouth, self-congratulatorily believe they will be pepper sprayed or photographed by the fbi at any moment. they must be very important and powerful for their very jam band concertgoing to frighten the corporate fascists so.
