Description

The musician and activist Tom Morello has performed at a number of rallies and concerts over the past three days at the NATO protests in Chicago. Morello is the longtime guitarist of Rage Against the Machine who also performs as the Nightwatchman and with his other band, the Street Sweeper Social Club. "Across the globe, across the U.S., from the Veterans Against the War movement, to the union movement, social justice movements are on the rise again," Morello says. "I hope to some small degree that my songs can help be a soundtrack for that struggle and help people on the front lines."
