That's what he claims. Odd thing is,
the $ media practically ignored this biographical revelation. I'm
sure they must be familiar with the content of that band, being the
alert ideological watchdogs that they are.
Rage Against The Machine was a radical,
anti-capitalist band that explicitly attacked the
exploitative system of oppression enforced by the U.S. They even
targeted specific U.S. corporations by name in the song “Wind
Below” on the Evil
Empire album. (And the empire
they meant wasn't the U.S.S.R.!) They also cursed a lot. The
dyed-in-the-wool capitalists I know hate RATM.
Ryan saying he's a fan of RATM is like
Adolf Hitler revealing that in his spare time he liked to dance the
hora. It's really rather stunning. I've have thought Ted Nugent would
be more his cup of tea. Or a gay-basher like Axl Rose.
What is he, a closet commie?
Isn't someone like Ryan supposed to
enjoy, oh, I don't know, country and western, or gospel, or maybe
Lawrence Welk? (Ok that was a low blow. How about The Eagles then?)
Ryan was made to do a bit of squirming
over the fact that his intellectual lodestar, Ayn Rand, was an
atheist. The media made sure to bring that up. But liking RATM
is no problem? It's not just a brand of beer, bourgeoisie!
