It's Beginning To Feel A Lot Like A "Fuck You" Christmas....

Update, Dec. 21 : Rage Against The Machine have the UK Number One Single for Christmas, and sent tens of thousands of pounds the way of a homeless charity. Frontman Zack De La Rocha declares victory for real music with something to say over corporate production line pop blech :

"...I just want to say we want to thank everyone for participating in this incredible, organic grass roots campaign.

"It's more about the spontaneous action taken by young people in the UK to topple this very sterile pop monopoly. When young people decide to take action they can make what's seemingly impossible, possible."

Previously....

An online fan campaign through FaceBook and Twitter sees Rage Against The Machine's Killing In The Name Of heading for the Number One spot on the UK charts for Christmas. The main competition is another godawful, cheesy Simon Cowell production line pukefest.

Rage Against The Machine are invited onto BBC Radio 5, they get a few minutes to shred Cowell and his nasty mega-million dollar business of the exploitation and humiliation of teenagers. Then RATM perform a live version of the song that fans are using to revolt against meaningless corporate radio crap :



"Get rid of it!" "We asked them not to do it, but they did it anyway."

What did they think Rage Against The Machine were going to do? Comply with their request?

The finale is "Fuck You, I Won't Do What You Tell Me".

The whole song is about NOT COMPLYING.

Morons.
