Rage Against The Machine - Revolution In The Head And The Art Of Protest

もはや単なるロックバンドを超えたプロテスト・バンド「Rage Against The Machine 」☆

未だにこの国では何かと言えば極上のエンターテインメントなどというコピーがそこら中に溢れていますが、時代はもはやエンターテインメントなどというユルい状況ではなくなってるんだ。

少し目を覚ます意味で、１時間４５分にわたるRage Against The Machineに関する研究動画を観てみるのも一興かもしれない。そろそろ、足の引っ張り合いや出る杭は打たれる式の下らないあげ足取りはやめて時代の本当の問題と向き合おうぜ☆

まずはここに現在のロックのひとつの姿がある☆

Rage Against The Machine - Revolution In The Head And The Art Of Protest

Arguably the most provocative band of the last 20 years, Rage Against The Machine have since their explosive debut, been the group most associated with the American protest movement. This film dissects the work and career of RATM and looks at their place in this always fascinating lineage of artists and performers who have spoken out on behalf of, and drawn attention to, the world's marginalised, downtrodden and oppressed. Picking up the flame from a linear musical tradition going back to the War Of Independence, with the best known protagonists coming up during the 1950s and 60s civil rights movement via artists such as Pete Segar and the young Bob Dylan, the anger remained as brutal as ever during the final decade of the 20th Century in Rage and contemporaries like Public Enemy. FEATURING: Brand new interviews with; renowned Rage producer and engineer, Garth Richardson; RATM Biographer, Colin Devenish; the band's live sound engineer, Dave 'Rat' Levine and the man who signed them Michael Goldstone. With further contributions from folk-protest singer and author Jerry Silverman, ex-'Rolling Stone' editor Joe Levy, and Professor of American Studies and English at Washington State University, T.V. Reed.
